Your Answer for Question 1:
Register spilling means that information in registers are slowly loaded to memory and then later reloaded back into the registers.  By using registers $t0-$t9 for holding temporary values, the convention cuts down on the necessary saving and loading times of some registers.  Only registers $s0-$s7 need to be saved and loaded.   

Your Answer for Question 2:
If we forbade recursion in a language, we would not need to keep stack frames that stores the parameters a function was called with.  Since only one instance of a function can be open at any time, there need not be a stack.  We would also avoid common scheme errors such as infinite loops and possibly stack overflow errors. 

Your Answer for Question 3:
The recursive examples in MIPS were hard to follow.  I can't quite follow the order of execution of the jump statements.
