And make sure on the email subject line you put your name or pen name and the Novel's Title as this is sometimes overlooked I've read, and causes them headaches, especially if there's more than one with the same title entered. But in the email itself it's fine to ask questions about entry requirements if it's not clear.
They're not going to disqualify you for sending two emails, only if you send two different file documents as comp entries. Even then, they'd probably just accept the first one and not exclude you completely. The fact they have a contest at all means they are fairly open to start with, not ridiculously restrictive for the sake of it. It's always amazed me, as a very late submitter to comps how far some of them go past their "strict deadline" to accept entries - most likely the ones who charge for entries, obviously.

separate however many pages foe your 3000 words -each section clearly titled.
Shouldn't be any more than ten pages, probably less, unless you have a lot of dialogue passages. But I wouldn't myself send a speech heavy section of it, two or three pages worth is probably okay, but opinions on it differ and dialogue heavy novels are very common nowadays, so I'd find out who the judges are and have a quick look at their typical style, to be safe.
