Question

Answer 1

No php, do it in your theme's css file.

Answer 2

If I understand you correctly, you are going to want to edit a relevant CSS file--nothing more.

Figure out which selector is appropriate for the container you want to limit and add the attributes:

height: 400px;
overflow: hidden;

Or overflow: auto; If you want scrollbars to appear.
