Apparently, there were some patches that fixed previous methods of accessing the developer console in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, so I'm at a loss as to how to enable the developer console in Enemy Within.
Is enabling the developer console possible without using mods in Enemy Within or do I have to install specific mods to do so? If so, which ones do I use?
As you have already found, one of the main differences is the drop in graphics quality. This means, according to Pocket Gamer:
Additionally, the PvP multiplayer mode is not available. However, according to both Venture Beat and Joystiq, it will be added at a later date.
There's an interview with Jake Solomon, the lead designer, stating
"The amazing thing is that all of the gameplay is there, and we just had to trim a few maps in order to get it to work on mobile."
and
"The interface has been changed slightly, taking the PC interface as the starting point.
As for the DLC, in Joystiq's announcement article they say that the Elite Soldier DLC is included but that the Slingshot DLC is not. As far as I can see, the Second Wave patch is similarly not included.
Edit: A recent patch has added the Second Wave options to the iOS version (thanks to bpcookson for the heads up).
According to this Source, "Electro Pulse is an Area of Effect ability that deals 5 damage to all units (excluding the MEC) within its radius. Robotic enemies are stunned for one turn."
It does 5 damage to all units (including allies but excluding the MEC using this ability in the sphere area around the MEC), then it stuns as well Robotic units for 1 turn. Here's a picture of affected tiles.

There are several ways to access the developer console, however most of these are no longer valid as of Enemy Within. One way you can still use the console, however, is through the keybind method.
Find the DefaultInput file in the Enemy Within folder and add bindings under the
[Engine.PlayerInput]heading. If there isn't an[Engine.PlayerInput]heading, then make one. Command bindings are written in the following manner:It is suggested to that you add
ALTso that you don't accidentally use the console when you don't want to. To do this, just addALT=Trueto the binding.Then, you can use your pre-specified console commands with their corresponding keybindings.
