Tor documentation suggests as little as 20 KB/s can be used to run a tor relay but this seems to be a very low badwidth rate.
As far as I know there were some changes that only with 30 KB/s will see something one would call traffic.
Yes -- but that's only for public relays.
Bridges serve a different purpose than "normal" relays. Bridges are used to get around censors (or not being "seen" as connecting to the Tor network on first glance) where people are happy to reach the website they wanted to visit. It's not about pushing large amounts of bandwidth back an forth, it's more about providing access to Tor and therefor the rest of the Internet.
Right. I think a 50KB/s bridge is still useful.
