Following are the answers of your questions....

1: There is no perfect length of an outline. It's all depends on one's style and title of an essay. However, one has to subdivide the outline in various dimensions (social, political, economic, strategic etc.) to cover all the aspects of an essay and mention recommendations in the end before conclusion.

3: Numbering is not necessary, you can mention main points and subpoints through different bullet symbols.
