stumpy fsr?
or the xc race hardtail?
one is a full sus so it would suck at street
and one is a racing hardtail so it would suck at street (high standover etc.)

you could give it a go i suppose but dont expect the racey wheels to last very long. and it'll be really rather cumbersome doing anything on it but to learn basics manueling hopping etc it should be fine

Short stem, cut your seatpost practically off, a higher spacer stack for your headset if possible and some higher riser bars. Other than that,well, I guess it'll make it easier once you move to an actual street bike.

Don't know what you are talking about, for street the general thing is to keep the bar low. Eccept for the guys that need all the room for turn downs. For a newb to street, lower is better.
