I'm not sure about your first question. I believe the internal system keyspace holds the hinted handoff information.
In 0.6 and earlier, HintedHandoffManager.sendMessage used to read the entire row into memory and then send the row back to the client in a single message. As of 0.7, Cassandra pages within a single hinted row instead (which improves performance for wide rows).
