Answer 1

Ad. 1: Yeah, Symfony 1.4 is stable and quite well designed framework. AJAX requestes shouldn't cause any problems.

Ad. 2: PHP 5.2.4 or newer, but not 5.2.9 is required and APC or similar is heavly recommended. You can run that check_configuration.php script to check whether or not your server is configured propertly for Symfony app.
