The piston needs to be moving that much quicker to get up and back in a single cycle in a taller engine than a short one.
So, it depends on what shape they are :p

You're on the right track ;)
It depends on the exact type of engines we're talking about here. For example my forged stroker 396 spins faster at 3000 rpms than my old 350 because the crank is a wider diameter, thus the pistons are moving faster due to the longer stroke!:idea3:
I'd think an inline motor would have a MUCH shorter stroke, so this is really a question for an engine guru. I've got both a 280CE and 300CD, but I'm not going to do a teardown to measure them for you. Yeah, I suck like that.:D
