If you are installing today, I would suggest using an F12 iso to do it.
Unless you already have a copy of the beta iso, you could grab use the
boot.iso from the daily builds or try a test RC image as that would start
you off closer to what you will end up with.

Yes.

It is the default. For F11 grub wasn't ready in time for the release so
that ext4 was not usable for /boot. ext3 was used on /boot and ext4 was the
default for other file systems. For F12 ext4 will be the default for all
file systems.

There is a recent discussion about a possible corruption bug for ext4 if
you have an unclean shutdown. I haven't been following it closely though.
