1a: Please look at the FIX.5.0 SP2 volume 4 Order State Change Matrices C.3.c.
Whether this will work as specified is a different issue.  I suspect that 
almost no-one follows the FIX specification on this point.  We (Lava) try to 
pass back an unsolicited cancel for the original order followed by a 
CancelReject as response to the ReplaceRequest.  We do this because most OMSs 
are unable to follow the (tricky) FIX specification which suggests that the 
ExecReport(replaced) contains an altered OrderQty which is equal to the CumQty, 
not the value specified on the ReplaceRequest.

1b: I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.

2a: Please look at the FIX.5.0 SP2 volume 4 Order State Change Matrices C.1.c.
The execution venue will either honor the increase or more likely will decide 
to CancelReject your ReplaceRequest (TLTC).
