You can still use grub which does not require bootable /boot. For /boot, ext2 is fine since its size is very small. > 2. The size of /boot is another question.

There is not too much difference between 49MB and 10MB for a modern hard disk. If you plan to try many kernels, 49MB is safe and enough. > 3.
