1: It would likely depend on how many players the game is set up to handle locally, which is probably rarely going to exceed 4.
2: No, but you could get a cheap switch/hub and an extra cable or two to avoid having to swap the connection all the time.
No

If online

I can't say for sure, but I don't think there's a ceiling for all games, just limits imposed by whatever company is running the servers. Some may be lower, others higher, but I don't THINK there's a hard limit that applies to all games.
As I said, I don't have a 360... Halo 3 is about the only game I'd want, and can't say as it justifies the price of the console at present. So, if someone else has information to the contrary, by all means, post it.
About 16

You can get a switch (I use a linksys EZXS55W) that will split your line in so you can run your pc and your xbox. Pretty cheap.
Some modems have multiple connections on the back so you don't need anything.

Thanks

2. You can place a router between your cable/dsl modem and your PC. This will allow you to connect both the PC and the XBox 360 to the Internet at the same time.
