Answer 2

Yes, Query Strings have a maximum length, IIRC it's 2048 chars, or something similar. Though specific implementations probably differ.

Wikipedia has a little bit of info.

There is no defined limit in any specification. The effective or prescribed limit is 2048 characters. Certain browsers and Webserver will have problems with longer.
