[...]1. It appears that there are about 100,000 S-PLUS users.
Does anyone has any other information that would give some notion as to
the RELATIVE numbers of R and S-PLUS users?
There is one major factor in here. The number of Windows users in the world is much higher than the number of Unix/Linux users, especially in the corporate sector. Organisations whose work needs R/S-PLUS and whose IT is Windows based will (I believe) mostly go for S-PLUS (I could expand in my reasons for believing this).
But R is available for Windows, too. I've downloaded and installed both the Linux and Windows versions; neither task was difficult, and the Windows version had a rather nicer interface.
