2. True, traditionals load up faster - but I only use frugals (assuming that the hardware is sufficient)
3. Boot loader doesn't matter, they both work - but you won't need to add bootcodes with a trad install. You'll need to modify your lilo.conf (usually in /etc) then run lilo to write to the mbr (use -C /path/to/my/lilo.conf if it isn't the one in /etc). Advantage of grub in this case would be not needing to write to the mbr every time (stage 2 looks on some specified parition)
For your fstab questions... searching around on google might give you a more indepth picture on what you want to do exactly. If you want to change it while read-only, I guess you'd just have to remount it manually (or reboot with a livecd, etc). You can set the permissions to do what you want (umask, uid, guid may be helpful here).
I suppose you mean /tmp - is it listed anywhere under `mount`? If not, you can either use something like mounting /tmp on tmpfs/none on startup, or change the TMPDIR env var around to point it to a rw possible mountpoint.
