No. 2950's are on sale right now and are quite cheap. In fact,
the 1900 is approx. $33.60 CDN retail more. The other issue is that
applications are becoming more network intensive, so you are going to
regret putting in a slow switch. You would probably actually be smart
to get 2950Ts (Gig uplinks).

Each port is configured indivually for both speed and duplex. Any
port can take on any combination of settings.

The 2950, being a newer product, uses 802.1q. The switch won't
have a problem. The question is which router and what software feature
set.

This can't be answered without doing a detailed analysis of your
network. The basic question is: are you having performance problems
that can be solved by moving to switches. If yes, then yes the
switches are most likely appropriate.
