1) No difference. At most you have a "short belt" version which eliminates the one pulley that has the least load on it.
2) Yes, but the equation is difficult. Both time and mileage apply.
3) IF you are concerned about the pulleys, the tensioner pulley has the highest load on it and the highest rotational speed, so if it turns smoothly, then the other is probably OK. The belt, you can observe. The water pump usually starts to weep before it fails, so again you have some warning.
Myself, I would change the belt at 60,000 miles or when the belt shows signs of stress - cracks in the ribs or a hard, shiny surface. Change the pulleys when you change the belt.
