Not so weak IMo; for instance he can blackmail the track hosting fota events, preventing any FIA series (WSR, F3, F2, FIA GT, LMS etc) from being hosted at those tracks; it could mean that hosting FOTa races could be not so convenient.

Don't think so: fota teams have been downsizing in the last few months, and a lot of experienced people are looking for a job in the 2010 F1

No more; the fota series is clearly meant to make profits itself, regardless it helps sell cars or not; the manufacturers aim at getting the 100% of the commercial and TV rights, that are currently mostly enjoyed by Bernie.
