It's the same, and defaults to 5 minutes.  This can be configured by
changing UPDATE_INTERVAL
(http://docs.optena.com/display/CONDOR/UPDATE_INTERVAL).  The
information is also sent during state changes.

Yes.  The ImageSize isn't determined via checkpointing magic - the
information comes from the operating system: usually somewhere in /proc.
