First, make sure this is really what you want to do. Normally you
would only want 'source' type files that you would check out in
working copies so you can edit and rebuild any binaries from them. If
you do need some unrelated fixed-version binaries brought along with
every checkout, consider putting them elsewhere (in the same or a
different repository) and using svn:external properties to pull any
tools or supporting libraries into their own subdirectories of the
working space. That way you can separate the versioning of 'your'
project from any separately-managed support tools/code/binaries. If
you subsequently commit new versions of the tools/libs, you can
control the checked-out version by using peg-revision syntax or tag
copies for your external targets.

Yes. If you are sure you really want that.

I'm not sure if the svn:ignore becomes a remembered property after the
first run or if it is strictly a client setting. You'll be able to
tell by what the svn add command shows, though. If it isn't taking
them, explicitly putting the filenames on the command line will work
and, at least on unix-like systems you can use wildcards like * */*
*/*/*, etc,. to have the shell expand all the filenames for you.
