In the file system you don't have to mix them.  In SqueezeCenter you
don't have much choice - they're going to be mixed in.

That's up to you.  Expect the same performance you're seeing now if you
don't.

I don't think anyone can really say.  It will depend a bit on how fast
your server is, so try it and see.

That's how SqueezeCenter will catalog the files without an album tag. 
They all belong to the same generic "no album" unless told otherwise.

I imagine you removed the album tags to avoid having all those singles
creating incomplete "albums" with only one or two tracks.  That's the
tradeoff - either everything goes under a single album, or you get
albums with singles in them.

It's been brought up in the past that SqueezeCenter doesn't handle
singles very well.
