First you need to figure out how many draft rounds you need. I think there's a spot in the manual to help figure this out if you haven't done so already. So the real basic formula that a lot of people use is take your # of draft rounds x # of ML teams = # of players needed for the draft. Take that number divided by the max age - min age for your feeders (usually 4 or 5 in most leagues) and that will give you the number of teams you need.
Now as I stated in my long post above there are ways to get this much more accurate, but this is the basic formula to get it close.

The more players you create, the more talent you'll have in your draft. So if you have a 1000 player draft pool and on average 10 players are 5 star potential, then in a 10,000 player draft pool on average there will be 100 5 star potential players.

Doesn't really matter except the larger league might have a huge playoff period depending on how your split up divisions.

Unfortunately OOTP doesn't work like this. Probably the biggest gripe with feeders. All feeder players when they reach a certain age leave their league and enter the draft. They can't progress onto another feeder league.
