ACR/Lightroom assume that integer TIFFs (the vast majority of TIFFs are written as integer TIFFs) are output-referred, and that floating-point TIFFs are scene-referred (e.g., HDR files). The bit depth itself is not critical (ACR/LR will read 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit floating-point formats for TIFF and DNG), but the data type itself (floating-point vs integer) matters to the default interpretation.

To process floating-point HDR images in ACR you will need ACR 7.1 or later with PV 2012. (You can use PV 2010 and earlier but it will not preserve the floating-point data during the rendering and hence in a truly high contrast scene you will likely see banding/quantization artifacts in the shadows.) The two floating-point HDR formats that ACR / LR currently support are TIFF and DNG.

...the white point in the 32-bit image is set differently than in the 8-bit image. So the initial exposure appears different. Simply adjust the Exposure slider till you get the overall image brightness you want.

Yes, Lr 4.1 and ACR 7.1 have the ability to import and render floating-point HDR images. Supported formats are TIFF and DNG. (If you have HDR images in other formats like OpenEXR or Radiance, you can use Photoshop or other tools to convert them to TIFF.) Supported bit depths are 16, 24, and 32 bits per channel.

If you're using Photoshop's Merge to HDR Pro feature to perform the "merge" step, be sure to choose 32-bit output in the top-right popup menu of the HDR Pro dialog box. This will generate a floating point (but not yet tone-mapped) image, which you can then use ACR or LR to render and tone map using the new PV 2012 controls.

Currently the noise reduction on floating point images (including 32-bit TIFFs) in ACR 7.1 / LR 4.1 is more twiddly, because there is no noise profile data. Effectively the NR methods can't assume anything about the noise content of the image (because it doesn't know "how" the image was merged), so the controls behave a bit more like they do for output referred images like JPEGs. In other words, they have much larger range to deal with a larger possible set of noise conditions. This is what makes them feel a bit more twiddly.

This situation will likely improve in the future, but I can't specify more at this time.

With ACR 7.1 and Lightroom 4.1 (with PV 2012), there is now also the ability to read and process (render) HDR images, i.e., floating-point images with 16, 24, or 32 bits per channel.
