Question 2

By its physical layout and orientation of components, or by looking up the part specifications from the manufacturer.

Question 8

The CPU(s) it is being designed for, the number and type of various kinds of interfaces, how important size and heat distribution will be, and whether to include embedded things or leave them for expansion slots.
