To your first question, I'm not sure about the stackup. Maybe Gerald can weigh 
in. 

As for the trace/space tolerances, each manufacturer is different. Some will 
not even attempt to print the boards, but some will try with the understanding 
that as you get away from their minimum specs, the yield also goes down. For 
example, if they specify a minimum trace/space of 4/4, but you need 3/3, they 
may print it, but you may see something like 4 of every 10 boards are unusable. 
And they won't replace those boards. You took the chance on your own free will 
knowing that you weren't within spec. So you may need to order 40% more boards 
than you need just to have enough to fulfill your needs.

The "wedges" you see are called teardrops. Some people use them when connecting 
to vias/pads as a stress relief. It prevents the traces from breaking away from 
the pads so easily. They are not essential, but do help more than you'd think.
