For issue #1:
You can setup your extra switch to attach to the second port on the router. This will provide you with ports for your coprocessor, camera and any other ethernet devices on your robot.

For issue #2:
Weight when it comes to stuff like this is a fairly non-issue. Any reasonable coprocessor and/or switch will not weigh anything more than a pound or two, which even then is on the heavier side of the spectrum when it comes to coprocessor selection.
