By taxi, it may cost around CNY60 per car. The space is indeed a little bit limited. One of the large sized luggage and carry-on can be arranged in the trunk but the other large sized one may need to be squeezed together with passengers.

2 hours would be safer. You need time to line up to buy a ticket and also time to go through the passport control two times before boarding.

If you depart from a station in mainland, it is not a problem. But from West Kowloon, it is a litte hard to say. You can only reach there earlier in advance and for a try. In case, they question about it, you can use the expressage service (near the ticket office).
