[OM] Slide projector sizing?

Good Evening. After taking only prints for about the last 11 years, I've 
started to use my new and recently refurbed OM2n to experiment with some 
slide films.

Today, I picked up a developed box of Fuji Velvia that I took to my local 
Ritz who had them developed at the local Kodak processing center - a Qualix 
I believe. Not sure that I'm comfortable with this arrangement. I'm not 
sure why the Kodachrome that I dropped off supposedly takes twice as long - 
must go somewhere different.

Anyway, I dragged the old GAF projector and 40" wide silver DaLite screen 
out of the closet. Trying to get an acceptable image size and quality , I 
realized that it is time to replace these items that were bought in the 
(yikes) 70s!

I'm looking for assistance in figuring out:
- what's the best surface to project onto that is available in a reasonably 
priced new screen?
- what kind of projector to buy?
- does autofocus work well on slide projectors - is this a feature worth 
having?
- what's the formula for determining angle of view at a given distance (how 
do I select a lens/ screen combo)?

I'll usually have only 15' between the projector and the screen.
