Answer 1

It seems it is possible actually

Just have to cath the temporary files for each style and applying size method.

let's say you have two styles large and small for your attachment called image and you have created two extra fields in your model large_size and small_size to save those values.

Just add the below bit of code to your model:

before_create :assign_sizes

private
def assign_sizes
    self.large_size = image.queued_for_write[:large].size.to_i
    self.small_size = image.queued_for_write[:small].size.to_i
end

The fields large_size and small_size will be popuated with each style file size. And this will be done before the files are sent to S3 for example. So there is no extra querying the files headers from S3.
