Howdy, I've never hosted a tournament but have been to a few, here are my suggestions to your questions:
1. 1750 point value is fine, though MW also runs well with 1500. I would lean towards the lower end as it can make for shorter games.
2. Air support- Absolutely allow it, its not nearly as broken as NGFS was, AA is about the cheapest platoon most armies can field and it's far from devastating. Most people I know don't even bother with air given the hit or miss nature of it.
3. Scenarios- I'd recommend one free for all type game, one defensive battle, and one mobile battle. Round out the missions to make sure no army type (armor, infantry) has a "meta" advantage.
Popular scenarios in the tournaments I've been to are
-Free for all
-Encounter
-Dust up
-Hasty Attack
-Hold the Line
-Fighting Withdrawal
4. Time limit- 2.5 hours is what I'm used to playing.
