1) thats fine, but if you get a lot of people, you should consider expanding for 5th place or further
2) not so fine, see 3
3) correct, wait to see how many show up then base prize on that.

No one wants to go to a 100 person tournament with a $20 entry fee only to see half of the 2g prize pool go right into the pocket of someone not in the tournament. Your best bet, if you are running a business, is to do was C3 in VA does, for about the first half dozen tournaments they ran they had entry fee determine pot, then they had a seperate "venue fee" between 3 and $5. They've raised the venue fee since they first started, but they also include food/drink, shrug.
