SRi is the same as a GSi. TBH a normal 1.2 one would probably be just as good, mine runs pretty cold

I'd get a alloy one (cause i have one) they do dispurce(sp?) the heat much better.

Should be fine. Mine only used to run hot as the old grille and bumper blocked a lot of air coming in, the new Mk2 stuff has way better airflow.

Have a look in the articles section, I made a thread about radiator sizes

1.2 all the way to gsi have the blanking thing that goes round them, if thats what you mean by half size. Diesel rad is the only one that is full length/depth.

No, not the cowling. You get some that are half the size (slam to cross member size) they sit on 3-4inch legs so they still sit in the middle. I thought it was 1lts that had them.
