Venkat,
1 ) Failover is supported per virtual partition between application
instances using a redundant Cisco ACE Services Module. Stateful redundancy
is available for traditional active-standby and active-active
configurations. Stateful failover is supported both within the chassis and
across chassis between peer ACE modules.
2) FWSM supports QOS:

3) Take a look at the design guide for ACE, it will answer your question
regarding gateway.
