How tall are you? Or rather how wide is you wingspan? Wingspan in inches divided by 2.5 is pretty close, usually within a half inch one way or another.

Your draw weight won't hurt you much assuming you scale your arrow weight accordingly. Say you shoot 6grn per pound, your bow with a 360grn arrow will be about the same speed at 60lb as it would be at 70lb with a 420grn arrow. But your killing power will obviously be better with the heavier arrow.

Release aids don't really change your draw length if you are anchoring your arrow/string the same either way. I never shoot fingers, but I do shoot three different releases, my anchor point for my arrow/string is always the same, but my knuckles anchor against my face differently for each release. If you change how you anchor your string/arrow and anchor your hand the same with any release, then yes, it will effect your draw length, but I personally wouldn't play that game.
