Yes older computers and operating systems used to only accommodate 500 gig or less. So if they told you that then it is probably right. Sometime the bios or OS is the limiting factor and sometimes you can update either or both and it might work but with the cost of computers now just get a new one.

A 1 TB drive will work in your model. In fact, the Dell support site listed 3 of them in spare parts for your laptop. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=400-ABJS&mfgpid=205146 That is one of them

If your laptop currently uses a SATA drive, yes it will. You may have to partition it into more than one logical drive if your machine won't support a large partition.

I haven't heard of ANY regular laptop drive (not including SSD ones) being too big in capacity. There are some issues with drives that are larger than 2TB but that doesn't apply here.
