The CD is more than 700meg. Yellow Book introduces overhead for regular
data CDs for error correction. Video CDs do not use as much error
correction, in fact, they are written in much the same way that audio
CDs are. Therefore, a 74 minute CD-R can hold ~74 minutes of video, and
an 80 minute CD-R can hold about ~80. (In practice, it's more like 72
and 78 respectivly. You have to leave some room for the ISO-9660
filesystem on the first track.)

Yes, it can. See the manpage (or the --usage of) vcdxrip to get the
behaviour that you want.

No. Because of the way that Video CDs are constructed, ISO files do not
carry enough information to burn an exact copy to a CD. Having said
that, if you feed mplayer the .bin, it will play the video in it.
