There's nothing written about a weight limit for first officers, for captains it depends on which fleet you are applying to. If there is an unwritten rule I honestly couldn't tell you what it might be.
As far as sim prep, anyone with the experience to apply should know how to do a V1 cut and raw data ILS, I can't imagine it being worth the money to pay for prep course. If you have flown airbus, brush up on using the flight path vector, or "bird". Non type rated, you have the instruments in front of you, fly the numbers.

On average it is 8 with minimum of 7, but it also depends on the fleet type you're on. A320 generally is the worst. It is a transitional fleet where you get your new command or come on as new-hire and just deal with the crap for approx. 18 months or so until they hopefully (or as they say here "inchallah") CCQ you over to something bigger. Compared to 'US' standards of days off and roster flexibility, forget about it. You are here to work for them and work you shall.

If they aren't using you for any period of time they will put a standby right in the middle of any block of off days thus making it hard to get away for any period of time.

Normally, yes. But there are many exceptions, if a fleet is short you may be offered a position there, or as a friend of mine did, you can turn down the 320 and wait until there is a spot on the 330. Right now some 777 copilots are being upgraded on the 777. It all depends on where they are short crewed.
