None others that I've seen, though there may be some. You can pick up
one of the 24 port switches off that list for maybe $100-200 USD on
ebay, while some of those cost a pile of money there are several cheap
ones on that list.

No. CP can only run on one interface, each VLAN would be its own
interface. You could have another m0n0wall box upstream from the one
that routes the VLAN's and do CP on it.

Static means a given switch port is always assigned to a specified
VLAN. Dynamic means VLAN is assigned automatically by the switch based
on something, like a MAC address.
