You can set the maximum amount of bandwidth you'd like it to use
in the config file.

The tor relay isn't anonymous - its IP address will be widely 
shared. It's used to keep tor users anonymous. Unless you're 
referring to hidden services, in which case the answer is 'yes', I 
think, as long as you're careful not to leak anything between the 
hidden service and the public ones.
