A. GarageBand can record 8 Audio tracks and 1 MIDI track at a time

Theoretically GarageBand can handle 255 Audio tracks/64 MIDI tracks in total (I assume that's basically an "OR" with some combination in the middle, but I've never tested that) in a single project.

I've worked with two projects that each had 54 tracks in them.
