For one, the iMac uses mobile GPU's so it's physically impossible to fit a desktop 5850. For two, the mobile 5850 has the about same performance as the mobile 4850(the mobile 4850 is slightly faster). The only difference is the mobile 5850 has DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4 support.

U do know the 4850 is massivly underclocked in the imac right? i would have the 5850 anyday, over the 4850

It sounds stupid but 5850 ain't faster https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/875286/

What's the chance that the new imac will be offered with a non-reflective screen option?

zero.

My two cents
