Tips for traveling by S2 trains:
1. The S2 trains stop in Huangtudian Railway Station in downtown Beijing. It is close to Huoying subway station along subway line 8 and line 13.
2. The tickets cannot be booked online or bought in advance. It is advised to go to Huangtudian early, especially when traveling in a peak season.
3. Seats on the train are not numbered. Passengers should get on as quickly as possible. Otherwise, no seat will be left and they may need to stand all the way to the destination.
4. Passengers holding a Transportation Smart Card with a balance of more than CNY 18 can take this train by swiping the card. No paper ticket will be required then. The transportation card can be bought at many subway stations in Beijing.

I think there is no such limited. Seat can be fully occupied but you can still stand in the train.

Personally speaking, I think 8 hours layover is not enough for visiting great wall by public transfer. Except the time you need to finish the transfer process at airport, you need at least 1 hour to go to train station and then about 1.5 hour on the way. You may only reach their around 2pm. To catch your flight, you may need to back at around 5:00pm. So you would have only 3 hours for visiting and on the way back to airport. If you do want to arrange this trip, you may need to rent a car instead.

There are many ways. For example, you can take metro from downtown to Zhuxinzhuang metro station, exit B2. There are express bus to Expo directly running around every 30min. You can also choose to go to Huangtudian railway station from downtown first and then take S2 train to Yanqing. Then use shuttle bus there to Expo. You can also choose to go to Drshengmen to take city bus 919 to Dong Xing Yuan and then change to shuttle bus to Expo.

No exact idea about the S train. But I got the information from website, that shows the train is available every 1.5 hour from 06:30 to 21:30. Hope this is useful for you.
