I have seen column starter dowels are typically hooked outward. ACI SP-66 also has a diagram showing something similar.
Is it recommended for all column starter dowels to be hooked facing each other as well?

Way out of my area of expertise, but I think this applies to hooked bars that will be loaded in TENSION...
