1. Regarding the time/speed to load threads -- Because each thread loads only the first 50 posts (by default), does it matter how many posts are on it (except to those who have modified the number of posts loaded upon connection)?
2. When donating by credit card, if someone does not write in the state they are donating from in the "Your Comments" box, does the donation automatically go to "Never-Never Land"?
Yep

Once the page limit is hit (whether it's 50 or 250 or something in between), it doesn't really matter. Of course, if someone feels it necessary to read everything on a particular thread, then it still gets daunting.
