Only 16 of the ports are UP (Unified Connectivity) ports.  So up to 16 possible  FCoE ports.

All 72 of the ports can be 10g Ethernet.

16 of the ports are "unified ports".  Another way to think of the UP ports is that they are dual personality.  They can be Ethernet or they can be FCoE.

Yes. Any of the ports can be used for 10g connections.  The media type (fiber, twinax, UTP) is dependent on the SFP+ that you install.
