First of all I would like to compliment your neat debrief (terse and to the point)

The 1200 level is adequate, a high quantitative score leaves a good impression.
UIUC: is very competetive, (for the best of my knowledge) they don't require GRE, if you want to crack UIUC you need the best of everything (GPA,
letter of reference,
statement of purpose, etc.)
University of Florida: I recall that average GRE of their admitted student is relatively higher than yours but you still can make it there, just take care of the other aspects of the application.
USC and NJIT: they almost admit everybody.
Admission with fund on the MS level is not common, however some schools offer tution wavier.

TOEFL is more about your English background, if you have a good background, a couple of weeks of preperation and practicing should be enough. Take care of Speaking especially if you want to apply for TA positions.

This is your call, of course a higher GRE score will boost your profile.
Good Luck!
