It is normal if keep-alive enabled. 2k+ is a small number for big site.
And in most cases you should not disable keep-alive.

No.

But don't forget to tune server - rise maxfiles, maxsockets and 
worker_connections if this number will be close to current limits.

About stab_status numbers - graph them (e. g. by rrdtool) and see trends on 
graph. Is some number stable for a long time, and then grow rapidly - this can 
be problem indicator.
