1. 10.5 should install fine there - 10.5.8 being the latest that model can handle. Make sure there is minimum 1 GB RAM installed (this KB (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2077?viewlocale=en_US) lists the sys req mostly)
2. All graphics cards that came with the Macs (or servers) shipped should work.. which cards do you mean in particular?
3. When installing remotely, you can use Apple Remote Desktop to access it from some other machine. The first 8 digits of the server's serial number should do for the password field for installer.

The G4 cluster node does not have an AGP slot, as 'standard' iServes have. Only 2 PCI slots, which restricts what's available...
