You don't have to burn an .iso to a disk- there are tons of free ISO mounting tools out there that will mount your .iso as a drive. Visual Studio is a big application, there's just no helping that. 4/5. You should be able to edit XAML using the designer in VS2010, but you're right it's not very good. Use Blend. 6. There isn't so much Silverlight 3- specific content out there because the things that changed between SL2 and SL3 are what SL3 *added*. Most SL2 content out there is stll valid.
