on 2) yes, you will be able to resize (since v.2.5) the backup disk image without data loss (verified!!!) - ignore official manual that misinforms about data loss during resize. You just need to stop (unmount) backup disk, enter new size, select Resize from the Gear menu.
Pay attention, that the new size should not be more than available free space on that HDD where the original backup is located (one file can't cross the HDD) and should not be less than your data on it. Actually, you will be notified if some of this cases happen (at least I was).
Also, it would be better to de-fragment your HDD right before resizing, otherwise you might get "contiguous space" problem.
