competitive matches play 6v6,
public servers range from 12 - 32 player maximum. i'm not sure about this but you can server-browse to check.
2.about how many people are playing at any time?
around 500
3.is the game easy to get into?
it is easier to understand if you have had a gaming background in first person shooters and realtime strategy. easy to learn, difficult to master sort of thing. finding a friendly, helpful crowd to play with will help you learn much faster.

your computer should run ns1 fine. i have no idea about ns2.

3) It can be a very intense and disorienting experience for the first couple of games, since things are flying around you, through the air, and completely silent (as a marine). You will die a lot, but you respawn back in the action relatively quickly. Watch what the more experienced players do and listen to your commander (the guy that gets into that chair and orders everybody). I'd recommend playing on the marine side for a while to get the basic flow of the game down. Playing on the alien side is a unique experience, although I'd recommend going gorge and building chambers that the team needs and are asking for before branching out into the more expensive lifeforms.
4) We don't know the requirements of NS2 yet, all we know is that its on the source engine and will probably be comparable to the performance of Half-life2: Episode 1. Your card will probably run it low-average, although I'd recommend an upgrade to a better direct X 9 card (which you can get for cheap these days).
If you want to learn NS, bother Radix to have more. It's the best way to motivate someone.

Agreed. Relentlessly annoying someone is the best way to get them to do what you want. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Kind of like how I bother you to update Evolve's main page? Or add bots to the server?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I actually did do the bot thing tonight, but the main webpage I'm delegating to you <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

You know you don't have to bug me about rubbing your feet.
the best way to learn how to play ns is to ask the right people \o\
