What I wonder about:
- is a 2.4 dump file/database size common when backup up ~1 million files
  that sum up to ~50 GB? (file and job retention are 1 month while I run
  one full backup per week and an incremental daily)
My Dumpfile is about 2 GB (1,5 million files about 450 GB, 14 day retention).

- is InnoDB perhaps suited better than MyISAM?
I prefer innodb.
Stores data in tablespaces, that can be limited in size and thus can not eat up all free space if autoextend is not configured. Supports transactions, row-locking and caches data records (not just indexes as MyISAM-Tables). Although Bacula doesnt utilize that features.

- are there MySQL server parameters I could tune?
You could fine tune some parameters normally in /etc/my.cnf
Most times the default my.cnf is optimized for systems with little memory (up to 64 MB).
To improve performance you can increase various buffer sizes.
Depending on the used storage engine (myisam, innodb) there are different parameters. A good point to look at would be the example my.cnf files or the documentation of mysql.
