Answer 2

How many threads can wait while one thread inside the critical section.

Answer 3

I do not think there is a limit on the number of threads that will block.

If there was, then the whole purpose of a critical section is defeated.

You can use TryEnterCriticalSection if you do not want to block on a critical section.
