1,2,3. System Volume Information is your System Restore data.
The space used is base on your settings:

If there is a problem with System Restore, sometimes it does not
delete the old data, turn Off/On System Restore to resolve.
4. Only OSs with System Restore such as Windows ME and Windows XP.
5. Ideal? What is your definition of ideal?
Windows XP is more secure and stable with NTFS
NTFS is not available on Windows ME.
