Having small corps compete with big corps/alliances on an uneven playing field will not make the game fun. The cost of the clones should be proportional to the corp size. Setting a base price for the clones and multiplying that with the member count or having some sort of algorithm to do that would help the smaller corps a lot. Option 2 would be to make the returns from FW higher. If the ISK returns got from FW were higher it would be an incentive for smaller corps to do more FW and earn ISK faster. Fair/Unfair aside, this just makes sense if you ask me, though the number of clones provided should also be proportional. You need a lot of biomass to make enough clones for a 400 merc corp, 10x as much as you do for a 40 merc corp. Option two needs to happen regardless of what happens in PC or pubs, payouts should be better; LP should be an earnable currency. FW standards from Eve should carry over to FW in Dust.

No, they'll just have problems holding planets in the first place since everything will be held by corps subsidized with metric shittons of moon goo ISK. I still think it makes sense to have the cost of a clone pack be dictated by the number of Dust mercs in the corp. Having stated that, I also feel that a "clone pack" should give 1 clone for every Dust merc in the purchasing corp. The number of clones dedicated to a PC attack/defense should still be at least somewhat moderated (no more than X clones per side), but a clone pack should be supplying the entire corp with 1 clone per merc. Maybe they should add extra clone packs, or allow the purchase of clone packs where you buy X clones per Dust merc in corp. Either way, the clone packs should be ((cost of clonenumber of dust mercs in corp) number of clones supplied for each dust merc in corp).

I don't see that as a bad thing for one. For two, I don't see why people shouldn't be able to stockpile Clone reserves and then allocate X number required to a battle for a planet. It makes biomass more of a commodity, the trit of Dust.
