Q1

There is a capacitor of C18 in LP8860EVM.

What is C18 for?

    C18 is for suppression of high frequency noise, it is not mandatory for real design if PCB is designed properly and boost COUT is close to FB pin. But I recommend to leave this capacitor and place it as close as possible to FB pin.

    R13 and R15 are useful for network analyzer connection to measure phase margin.

    In real design they are useless.
