Yes, this is. I'm pretty sure there is no limit, as this is a new
standard created by Adobe, and I doubt they would have limited it.

I don't believe F-Spot will automatically create and associate in the
database the photo and its embedded tags, unfortunately. It should do
both.

If you've created multiple versions of a file and them import them into
a new F-Spot database, it will treat them as separate photos.
The other problem with using this as a way to not need multiple
databases is that if you change/move/delete a photo in one database, the
only way to currently get those changes into a different db is to delete
them from that one's catalog and reimport them (which loses the
versioning information and is clunky).
I think that is an interesting way to solve the shared databases problem
though. We just have to solve these other problems first.
