How many transactions end up in a block? How big are blocks?

  As many as will fit, and maximum 1MB.

    There's some controversy around what to do about this problem. See, for example: http://keepbitcoinfree.org/ http://keepbitcoinfree.org/

    Recently, a new patch is going to enter in the bitcoin-qt client that increases the default size of the block for miners from 50k to 300k to accomodate higher transaction volume.
