For a tablet emulator, just create an AVD using Android 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2 -- this should automatically get you a WXGA (1280x800) screen.

For tablet screen sizes, check out Supporting Multiple Screens: Configuration Examples from the Android documentation:

• 320dp: a typical phone screen (240x320 ldpi, 320x480 mdpi, 480x800 hdpi, etc).
• 480dp: a tweener tablet like the Streak (480x800 mdpi).
• 600dp: a 7” tablet (600x1024 mdpi).
• 720dp: a 10” tablet (720x1280 mdpi, 800x1280 mdpi, etc).

Most tablets will be in the 7” and 10” range.

Sure you can. Just use the android tool to download the SDK for Android 3.0+ (r11 for example) and create an emulator like you would normally.

Note that the 3.0+ emulators like to crash from time to time from my expirience.
