You need the gd library to be installed if you want to use the captchas. You can turn them off in your admin-cp if you do not need them.

It's very hard to calculate the webspace for the future. It depends on the numer of users, number of posts, number of avatars, number and size of attachments,...You can limit the attachment size for every file type in your admin-cp and you can set a limit for every user of a usergroup.
regarding PHP and MySQL, what version numbers at least ?

As Michael said, GD for captchas.

Those should work fine.
