first answer: The military started to use computer aided simulation in around 2001, in march. Mostly with target practice to save paper.
second answer: I was in the US Army, I was involved in fairly detailed computer simulations (war-games) in the mid-1980's. The US Air Force & US Navy would have begun using them in the 1970's. These were simulations involving units, not individual soldiers or pilots.
The third generation of computers started in 1964 through 1971.
I'm certain others will give different answers, but I started using computers in 1973. My current home computer system includes 9 computers, 3 printers, and a tablet; all connected by a combination of ethernet and wi-fi.

No, there are no limits.
Computers can be beneficial for the government by names stored in a database, like an offender registry. This keeps them organized and easy to access.
Not really no. Though, if you had anything less than 5-8 computers you'd probably just use a workgroup. Then if you start getting more your better off using a domain.
Conducting official government business
It depends on several variables. Is your computer lab also going to be a server for your school? How long will each person be using the computers on average? Will the students be using the computers for activities other than homework, such as games, browsing YouTube, etc? Seeing that you plan on 100 students, you should start with about 50 computers because not all of the students will be using the computers simultaneously. Are some of the students fortunate to have their own laptops and sometimes need to ask for extra help with their homework? Is so, plan on having empty tables for them.
