Given what you said (a small folder restored correctly), then yes, a
larger folder should work equally as well.

There is no progress bar, but you should be able to use the Status page
(the opening page) to see if the transfer is still running.

Rsync requires some setup in the beginning (creating a file list), then it
starts transferring files. So a pause in the beginning for a big host
might be expected, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes or so.
Without knowing anything about your hardware on both ends (and in
between), it's hard to be confident about anything. But again, if a small
folder works, the entire host should work as well, it'll just take longer.
Like I said, check the Status page and make sure that the processes are
there. If you want, you can probably check the BackupPC machine to see
what it's doing: do a "vmstat 1" and make sure that you see large numbers
under BO (Block Out). That's as close as you get to a progress bar! :)
