Unless you need software that doesn't work on i386, you should install
amd64.

This is very much dependent on what will the server actually do. For a
simple web (PHP?) application, yes. For a very complex web application,
no. You probably also need a database there, and that will complicate
things.

I suppose the disk drive specification is a placeholder - you'll
probably need many more drives in real deployment.
