No it is definitely 300-31F.

Yes that is right.

No, this never happened to me. Of course I use vde, not the builtin tuntap
or the userspace network, so there might be some differences.

No. qemu-fast is designed for loading a linux kernel w/o any BIOS. In theory,
you could modify the source code of Windows so it would start out with a linux
like "kernel" bootstrapper (which also emulated all of the BIOS stuff) and then
have it load the rest of Windows. In reality, this is not going to happen.
(I suppose, if you are into the black arts, you could create a linux kernel-like
bootstrapper instead, and have that load up io.sys...) Also, the modified
Windows OS would need to use linux syscalls and mmap(). (Again, if you
are into the black arts, you could try patching the machine code...)
