1) I think this would work well. I have only ever vaguely heard about Swancon through friends who go (who finally bugged me sufficiently into going last year), and while word of mouth is a good way to keep people coming, it doesn't swell the numbers quite as well as some proper marketing
2) I would kinda agree here too. I don't think Swancon is drawing the sorts of numbers it could, given the more mainstream popularity of science fiction at the moment. I think there is wider circle of less intense fans who would come to a more relaxed con.
