Memory consumption is tracked in v$sesstat. Join with v$statname and look for 'session pga memory' and 'session uga memory'. Uga is usually some 400k, pga can be huge.

The rest of your question is platform dependent. On Winblows you usually run into problems with 4G with about 200 sessions
(speaking from experience), when not using Multithreaded Server.

Connection pooling is dependent on MTS, you would need to enable MTS first.
