Concentration & Evil Eye
The Witch's Evil Eye hex allows the option of giving a penalty to the victim's ability check or skill check. Does the concentration check, to cast defensively for example, count as either of those? I lean towards it being an ability check, but I couldn't find clarification, if any, in the rules. The rules are naming it a "concentration" check specifically, implying a different type of check altogether that Evil Eye can't affect because it's not given as an option.

Re: Concentration & Evil Eye
It's not clear unfortunately - though I will point out that I've seen them listed separately, suggesting they are not the same (e.g. the Medium's Marshal spirit has an ability that buffs your ability checks, skill checks, concentration checks, attack rolls or saving throws once per round.)

Re: Concentration & Evil Eye
Yes, a concentration check is an ability check, as per the definition of "ability check". Yes, a concentration check explicitly benefits from (e.g.) a Circlet of Persuasion, assuming you're a charisma-based caster of course, as per the FAQ and explicit response from the game designers. Yes, that means it is penalized by Evil Eye as well.
