Depends on how much boost. Higher compression yields more power, but is more difficult to tune.

Depends on how much boost. 2" I.D. is good for over 300hp without any restriction. So, you probably don't need any bigger than that.

Yes, you should use a filter. The compressor wheel is atleast as delicate as the internals of your engine.
