Regarding the first paragraph, it is possible to get decent traffic even
within a /few/ months provided that there is basic content once the site is
constructed (and links of course). This is based on my experience with two
separate domains. The traffic from search engines reached a stable peak
after 6 months or so, but rose quite rapidly since the very beginning.
Registering your domain for many years also yields good treatment (ranking)
from search engines.
As for the last point, provided that you link to the subsite as if it were a
subdirectory, I believe it will be treated more or less equally. It is only
a strutural difference, but the domain is still the same domain with the
same, let us say, Alexa ranking associated with it.
