Answer 1

Hello Isidore,
I can answer questions 3 and 4, as I have that sort of setup.
3.) No, you don't really need an SSD, but I would certainly recommend that you buy one.  You'll notice a huge difference in the amount of time it takes to boot.  I bought the OCZ Vertex 3 (120GB) a while back, and it's very fast.  Whether or not you should get one just depends on whether the speed is worth it to you, but if I were you, I would.
As for the size, that depends on exactly what you'll use it for.  See number 4 below.
4.) Yes, that's my setup.  The SSD is my primary drive, and my HDD is for everything else.  Here's basically how I have everything setup:
When I finish a day of shooting, I copy all my footage into a special folder (I named it "IMPORT" since I use it often) on my SSD.  I do this because the clips load much faster in Prelude and Premiere Pro.  Then, after I finish and export the project, I move all the original files onto my HDD.  I would still do this even I had a larger SSD, because it's always good to keep your primary drives clean.
I also set the render and cache directories to those that I create on my HDD, because for longer projects, my SSD would fill up quickly, so that's why you may want to consider buying a larger SSD (even though 128GB would probably work just fine).
I hope this helped a little!
