What to do best performance at varnish?

At least as large as your working set.  Beyond that, you run into the
law of diminishing returns, unless you expect your working set to grow
over time.

Yes.

Leave them unchanged.  Keep an eye on n_wrk_overflow and n_wrk_drop in
varnishstat; if they increase rapidly under normal working conditions,
increase thread_pool_max.  If n_wrk_overflow increases but n_wrk_drop
doesn't, consider increasing thread_pool_min.  If your traffic comes in
bursts, increasing thread_pool_timeout might help, but in most cases it
won't.

No more than is generally recommended for the amount of memory you have
and the amount of network traffic you expect.
