1. Yes you can replace the HTML editor used by default but this is not configurable, you'd have to manually replace all the uses of TinyMCE with your choice.

2 and 4. These can both be achieved by using a custom action which is run via a rule on a particular space or spaces. Have a look at these wiki pages for details on actions:

3. This isn't configurable but could be achieved via customisation. We use the commons fileupload library (1.1.1) which I believe allows you to set the maximum upload size for a file, so you could customise our UploadFileServlet to set this parameter.
