Not that I'm aware of.

Yes, you can use these docs for that:
Excluding Files from Backup - cPanel Documentation

For the first you will need to develop it, i know that Hostgator.com has that option for if the account size if more than xxGb or if the user has more than xx inodes on the homedir.

Maeby this can be done with a hook on the backup function.

Other possible approach to this could be make a shell script that runs every day for example, and calculate the homedire size, and if is bigger than xxGb call a script that will execute for example a cpanel script that will disable that account from the account lists to backup, i think this could be much more easier than the hook.
