With Ant 1.6.3 (now in beta) you could do this:
<pathconvert property="foo" pathsep="">
<path>
<fileset dir="foo" includes="*.foo" />
</path>
<mergemapper to="-" />
</pathconvert>
<length string="${foo}" property="foo.length" />
(look for a cooler way to do this in Ant 1.7!)

3. depends on what the comparison is... rather than
break out of a target, however, you are probably
better off to decompose your build so that the part
you want to skip by breaking out is in its own target,
which depends on a target that does this count-check.
Most likely you will test its results with another
condition to set a property (or not), and whether this
property is set will determine whether the final
target is run. Under what circumstances do you NOT
want to continue, after having counted the files?
What actions are you trying to avoid?
