Q1: From the pic it looks like you have lab version for only GTM? You can check you license and support status at: F5 Licensing Tools --> Product Information Request. Fill in your e-mail and the Lab license registration key (or last part of it, or serial number if hw appliance).

 

After a while you should get an e-mail with information of the license and support status and history.

 

I would advise to take say 3 years support with, whenever one buys a lab license. The cost is minimal compared to work and efforts needed to renew the support. Keep in mind that the BIG-IP sw is constantly evolving and upgrading outside warranty (3 months?) typically requires valid support contract.

 

Q2 & 3: haven't used that environment. Check their website? There may be advice: for example: http://www.unetlab.com/2015/01/im-running-out-of-space-how-can-i-add-more-storage-to-unetlab-vm/
