Hello Sputins,
Am very glad to see that you have started your build!!!

As for my answers to some of your questions...
1, 2 and three you have answered them related to scale and sizes.
About Motors...yes I noticed that lower is bigger and different type...as the top is a PC FAN motor...as of why...idk...maybe lower needed more weight and torque to spin the magnets against a changing polarity paramagnetic material?...due to magnetic friction?
But related to both spinning discs - motors speed...I believe they both are pretty well balanced...and the reason is based on observing the precise time when separation from ground takes place based on response from the whole body assy...
Here if you watch the indoor video of #2 prototype...it does makes some slight turns in both directions until it stabilizes, while gaining height.
About direction of rotation...go to Diagram Video...or your image (below)...rotation is there for each disc:
Both motors turn same direction ( notice same Input polarity) BUT when facing each other's they are COUNTER.
Hope it helps...and pls keep us posted.
Regards
