Yes.

Perhaps.

The uClibc libarary is around half the size of libc5

The 2.4 was more than 100kb larger than a 2.2 with
the same config.

Most will.  It depends on what helper files
(eg fonts) they expect.

The dietlibc collection is small and focusses on 
utilities (many of which are already included in
busybox).  Few statically compiled applications
are available anywhere.

I'm finding that most things compile with uClibc.
libc5 is 50-50 (neither busybox nor Xvesa compile
in libc5).  The authors of uClibc have designed 
it to address modern sourcecode.  libc5 works fine
with sourcecode from 6 years ago, but since then
expectations have changed quite a bit.
