Answer 1

This is a scaling question.

The answer will depend heavily on the Server HW, but even more on the Application-Design.

The naive answer is: Your application will be slower.

Unfortunately only trial and error will show you (exactly) how much slower ..

Answer 2

The answer is 1.

A silverlight application is run on the client by the one user.

Typically though a Line of business app will have a server backend that the Silverlight application will talk to via WCF. That backend server can support thousands of users.
