      a) is there a reference table somewhere that describes these values
e.g. that 0x04 is probe request and 0x05 is probe reply?

Look for IEEE Std 802.11-2007.

      b) is there a way to instruct Wireshark to filter based on the info
it presents in the info field for a packet? (which is what the user sees, so
IMHO it makes much more sense)

The user sees both the Info field *and* the detailed dissection, so it makes sense to offer both the ability to filter 
on the contents of the Info field *AND* on the contents of particular filterable fields.

There is currently no way to say

        info contains "Probe response"

although something such as that would be a useful enhancement.
