As many as possible!

Either walking or MARTA subway. Either takes up to 20 minutes, depending on where in downtown your hotel is (close hotels usually walk, further ones use the subway). A week long unlimited subway pass was about $12-$15, and can also be used to get from the Airport to downtown.

Half mile is more accurate.

It's enough. There are numberous places to eat in the GWCC (the pits), the Dome, or the nearby CNN Center Food Court.
