Any thing in the hudLayout.res is in the res 640x480 (same with all res files). The engine automatically scales them depending on the users res. Only time you need to scale screen pos is when hard coding them.

I believe the screen sizes to the pixels of the resolution so at 1024x768 the screen is that many pixels. I usually just set it inside the constructor SetSize( ScreenWidth(), ScreenHeight() ); might also have to be done where hud Resets itself. Another thing that bothers me is the MeshBuilder isn't aligned to screenspace pixels. It's a pain to pan them out together.
