You don't really have to worry about how many pulses they need to see. at 40khz, this will not even be an issue. You can basically assume the response is instantaneous.

yes. Some cameras more than others. It will show up as bluish white. Point a TV remote into your camera to get an idea of what i mean. You can prolly find IR filters if things are really bad.
