1) is VERY dependant on how many of the hits access the database
how many read/write querires.. etc etc.. To answer the question of
load you should try to get it down to queries/minute at least..
It also depends on hardware, optimization of queries, etc etc.
2) Yes, you can put anything you want into a mysql database, mysql
doesn't know the difference bewteen Falsh and PowerPoint but it
doesn't care if you put them in there.
