2. what is the risk of installing a beta compiler on what might otherwise be a "production" developer system? In particular, could it interfere with other VS installations, and could it require a complete system reinstall when the final release of VC 14 is available?

I found an official answer here:

http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-14-ctp-vs

"Installing a CTP release will place a computer in an unsupported state. For that reason, we recommend only installing CTP releases in a virtual machine, or on a computer that is available for reformatting."

So there is no promise that you will not need to reformat the system during the evolution of the compiler.
