For part one: I believe the string on a recurve is 4" shorter than the bow. But to be totally sure you could log on to "Trad Gang" and ask some of the string makers there.

For part two: shoot it to your hearts content. The bow has more sentimental value to you than it has real collector value. There for the answer lies with you. If shooting it brings to mind great memories of your grandfather shoot it. If it can do the same for you hanging on the wall hang it. I've got a couple of old bears that I shoot but none have the sentimental value, they were just less expensive bows for me to drag around.
