nope, only if swap-space is found that is used.

When you create and start them the partitions will become "idle".
Then there are available for assignment. In this stage the  partitions
will  stay  in their RAM-disk (initrd).
When they are assigned they will do net-booting and mounting its
rootfs by nfs (soon by Iscsi too).

yes, but i guess this qustions is more about the fs-image (of VE's).
To clone a partition just create a new one and assign them to a
VE which you have cloned before. You may want to run them as
a multi-server with a shared fs-image or you may also want to
clone the fs-image before to have separated clones.

yes ... but not yet.
We are working on a vnc-plugin which is not released yet.
(I would be happy to share it for testing before a public-release, just 
let me know)

windows guest systems still requiring special hardware as i know.
For now the xen-plugin is designed to manage linux-partitions.
The next release of the vmware-plugin for esx will also support windows 
partititons.
