can refer only to second question as I have only SE100.
You can format both cards, but - if you have replaced larger one 
(NetBSD) it is enough to format only NetBSD CF.
You also do not need to format external CF (installsys will ask for that).

The most problematic card is NetBSD CF.
But, if you have failure @ VxWorks CF that card can not be replaced with 
any other. There is upper size limitation for it, otherwise VxWorks will 
not boot.
I have never had a problem with VxWorks CF, but I tested that.
2G CF didn't work there, as I remember that could be 512k (original in 
SE100 is 256k).
It is problematic to buy such a low capacity cards, but - look @ ebay, 
you can still get them.
I keep some on spare stock in a case of a problem ;)

The same with NetBSD CF - it is good to keep some suitable CF on stock.
