1) With this setup there will be some vignetting, so what is the usable area at the focal point ?

That will determine the size of the camera chip.

2) There is a lot of controversy over image scale, which is determined by pixel size. 

A pixel size of about 6um gives you 1arcsec/pixel, but many oversample with much smaller pixels.
