I don't think this has been asked before- in terms of the new camera, how far will Abe be from the screen? Will Abe be roughly the same size on screen as in the original?
That's the idea. Abe is the same size relative to his environment, and the camera shows roughly the equivalent of one old screen, but it should be trivial to play with the camera and achieve the kinds of pans and zooms you mention.

I only ask because I remember someone saying that we will see the sligs go back to sleep once we're out of range. Going by the screen distance of the original, wouldn't this mean that sligs can't see Abe/give up chasing him when he's only 10 (ish) meters away?
It's going to take some experimentation to get the AI to behave both practically and believably. Just like the original, Slig behaviours will have to vary between individuals.
