You definitely should upgrade before trying WP8.
There were major changes in BL 3.3 to make it more 
compatible with X applications.  Since WP8 uses X,
it is more likely to work on 3.3 than on 3.2.

Yes.  WP8 is very big, but not that big.  IIRC it takes
less than 100mb.

That's probably a good idea.

It will be easier to install on a real Slackware.  Once
you see how that goes, you will be in a better position
to identify where it goes wrong in BL3.
