When I was on pred, I didn't split the dose. I have seen a lot of people mention doing it and I imagine it could be helpful if you're having trouble. I take my 6mp once a day before bed. I don't think starting imuran would change anything, it can take months for imuran to get into your bloodstream and start fighting inflammation. Some people see results quickly, others it takes a while. I don't think you should change anything. As for taking pred 2x a day, I would ask my GI if it's providing any benefit. When I have that feeling of always having to go, I try to eat very light foods. I haven't found anything to calm it. Mesalamine or steroid enemas could help and they are definitely worth a try. I think the issue is that the inflammation is causing the feeling of having to go - to get rid of the feeling, you have to get rid of the inflammation. Hopefully imuran works quickly and you get into a long remission.
