1) You can't. You can add a graphics card, that will free up your chip memory.

2) It will fit, but it will not be healthy for your card unless you provide some cooling for it, so a tower will be the recommended solution. It's better to use a Blizzard 1260 than a Blizzard 1240 though.

3) Yes, again with a graphics card. Then you can have resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. Without a graphics card you will be limited to around 640 x 480.

PCI would be the best option, as you can then get cheap PCI cards installed (ethernet, sound and tv cards). You can also get a Zorro busboard, but these are sometimes very picky about the cards installed and you are forced to use Zorro cards, which are more expensive than PCI cards.

The cheapest solution would be to get a Mediator PCI busboard and a Voodoo 3 3000 graphics card.
