Your Answer for Question 1:
The purpose of the C preprocessor is to store segment of code or data used many time in a program in one space. It's seems similar to a linking step, but it also has to be compiles and assembled I believe so I would place it before the compiler. 

Your Answer for Question 2:
Compilation speed would be one impact. The elimation of the linking step would mean that the compiler would have to recompile code like printf each time it encountered its function call, which may occur hundreds of times in one program.
