Answer 1

This is going to be a very rare case from what I have seen when some one checks in, say a 200Mb or even more size file.

While you can prevent this from happening by using server side hooks ( not sure about client side hooks since you have to rely on the person having the hooks installed ) much like how you would in SVN, you also have to take into account that in Git, it is much much easier to remove such a file / commit from the repository. You did not have such a luxury in SVN, atleast not an easy way.
