Sure, putting the tlog on a different disk can reduce disk I/O contention, of course you don't need to bother unless you can demonstrate that your Solr app is I/O bound. If it's not, you won't see much benefit....
Don't know about the compression. Note that tlogs are only guaranteed (at present) to contain 100 docs so we're probably not talking about huge numbers here. If you're seeing very large tlogs, you probably should re-visit your commit strategy.
