1. only when you overburn
2. usually authoring tools create only VCD2.0. The only tools I know, that allows VCD1.x, is VCDImager.
3. Have you ever seen a DVD menu?

1.)thanks
2.)so TMPGEnc-0.11.26.110 = VCD2.0 ??
3.)no

1) Not only overburning, but it also depends on the quality of the VIDEO (Birate)

2) The difference between them is the birate setting:
1.0/1.1 - Is very strict
2.0 - has more possiblities, and options for better
quality
X(tended) - is very lusive (the quality can reach SVCD)

3) menus allow you to choose which track to play, or what
chapter... Well it'a a menu...

You can check about the differences between VCD 1.0/1.1 and 2.0 here:

I highly recomment to read the FAQs. I think, after that you can imagine what a menu is, what a MPEG encoder is and finally what a VCD is.
TMPGEnc is a MPEG encoder, not an authoring tool.
TMPGEnc creates VCD compliant MPEG files, not the VCD itself.
