I raely think that people have stupid questions. And honestly if I find the question very basic, I do not answer to let other contributors who may have more time and enough knowlede to answer do it. But I don't hink your questions are that basic, so I answer ;-)

>1) it seems that .iso size is only 2.3G and not 4.4 as indicated by -s .

-s indicates the maximum size a media can have. When reaching that point a new media will be created.

Yes I agree. However, sometimes it takes a bit of time for the estimation to become correct. And in booth senses. Sometimes it will take a bit/much more or sometimes much less.
Yuo should let it go to at least 5-10% to check.

Maybe also you have very large files with holes, that are worngly supported by afio, so you may want to use star with -R.
Can't say for sure without logs.

Yes. Fixed in 3.3.0 (beta soon available if you want to try under ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/test/rhel/5).
