The char and varchar columns would double in size, yes. If you have
three such diverse languages to support that seems (to me) to be a
small price to pay.
Yes, the maximum column width would be reduced to 4000 characters. If
you are using SQL Server 2005 you have the alternative of
NVARCHAR(max).

I am confident that Chinese support in UNICODE is at least as good as
Chinese support in any single-byte code page / collation.
