Answer 1

You could use Regex (Regular Expression), /^[a-zA-Z]{3,}$/ would for instance allow a minimum of 3 characters behind the comma would be the max value.

As for numbers it would be something like this /^[0-9]{3,}$/

And I would do this before the user is saved with the users.onBeforeSaveUser Event in a plugin.

Answer 2

The MN Match Input plugin is a fieldtype for fields that match a regular expression. It sound to me as if it will do what you want.
