Answer 1

According to the Twitter List API Docs:
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/Twitter-REST-API-Method:-GET-list-members
You cant get more than 20 in a single request.

If you're using twitteroauth by abraham, you can iterate through the pages of list members (this example assumes $connection is already defined by a functional implementation of twitteroauth):
$user = $connection->get('account/verify_credentials'); //Gets/Tests credentials
$listmembers = $connection->get("{$user->screen_name}/LISTNAMEORID/members"); //Gets first page of list members; MUST edit "LISTNAMEORID"
$pagevalue = ""; //Set page value for later use
if($listmembers->next_cursor == 0){ //There is only one page of followers
for ($j=0, $k=count($listmembers->users); $j<$k; $j++){
//Your actions here
//print_r($listmembers); //Displays the page of list members
}
} else { //There are multiple pages of followers
while ($pagevalue!=$listmembers->next_cursor){
for ($j=0, $k=count($listmembers->users); $j<$k; $j++){
//Your actions here
//print_r($listmembers); //Displays the page of list members
}
$pagevalue = $listmembers->next_cursor; //Increment the 'Next Page' link
$listmembers = $connection->get("{$user->screen_name}/LISTNAMEORID/members", array('cursor' => $pagevalue)); //Gets next page of list members; MUST edit "LISTNAMEORID"
}
}

$connection = new TwitterOAuth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
$listmembers = $connection->get("MexicoTimes/mexicanpoliticians/members");
$members = array();
while ($listmembers->next_cursor_str != "0") {
foreach($listmembers->users as $user)
$members[] = $user;
$cursor = $listmembers->next_cursor_str;
$listmembers = $connection->get("MexicoTimes/mexicanpoliticians/members", array('cursor' => $cursor));
}
This one worked for me with Abraham's Twitteroauth

Probably not though, you can poll multiple times > 1 for more data.
Given that twitter said you can't do it, you Probably can't
