You need to click on "Leisure Travellers" near the top of the page on their website. Prices vary. I've seen prices come down at the last minute but usually fares are cheaper if booked well in advance.

In my Eurostar travels I have seen many different train lengths so I am quite sure they size the train to meet the need. Just like they do for the TGV. They may lock down the train size at some arbitrary point before departure, but before that point ticket sales and trending determine the train length AFAIK.
Eurostar operates the same number of carriages at all times. 10 standard class coaches and 6 first class coaches. All first class coaches are identical (except coaches 9 and 10 which are half coaches) The number of coaches dedicated to Business Premier and Leisure Select will vary according to demand.
