Yes, and X299 motherboard would have UEFI boot as shown on the specifications page under "BIOS" ...

No, the limitation on partition size resides in an MBR partition style. To organize a disk or partition > 2TB, the disk must use the GPT style partition scheme. Windows installation protocal will automatically partition the disk using the GPT style so long as the board firmware is UEFI, like the ASUS board you have, during the install process. The default size will consist of the entire disk but that partition may be reduced after the install completes by going to disk management app.

none. Full disk will be one partition by default. You can change later if you want
