Dear Sam, 1. No. 2. yes, or the gearing consistent with a 30T rear cog, anyway. 3. yes, but why do that to yourself unless you're looking to make a half-step system work well, esp. given that 8s cassettes fit your rivendell freehub anyway, and they're easy to friction shift? Or, if you're looking to be modern, 10 of 11 on the back with an STI/Ergo lever? 4. I ride with sub-30T 10s cassettes anyway. I adjust my chainring range to match my gearing needs.
