I stuck it on my rear window yesterday for testing purposes and I wasnt even trying to get my speedo/rpm into view but they still were in view. Im sure if you were trying to, you could place it a little towards the passenger side and zoom into your dash NO problem. I highly doubt you can dislodge it by braking, it is meant to hold very heavy panes of glass at an industrial level.

2) i'm familiar with the industrial style suction cups that glass install guys use - i realize how strong they are.... but i'm still concerned that during a 30 minute run, car slamming back and forth, rumble strips, etc, it could shake lose... would much prefer to mount on the cross-member

They Sell a mount for roll bars! Check out their site, they have mount that is MADE to grip around tubes.

Yup, at least down here in FL they are a little more lax on the regulations. The club that I race with the most doesn't care about me mounting anything. You should always have a secondary safety device hooked up so that even if it detaches, then it wont go flying. I have bungee hooks to set mine up when they are outside the car.
