Policers are defined within the firewall filters
because of their flexibility. You can select which
traffic is passed to the policer based on any
combination of the match conditions of a filter.

No, burst-size-limit specifies bursts of data that
exceed the given bandwidth limit, but only up to a
total number of bytes given by this value.
You can look at the manual:

or a white paper on policing located at:

for more detail.
