I think this depends on a bunch of other factors - map size, projection
type. I guess you could figure out the pixel distances for some
relative distances on the map, and use those measurements to figure out
what the scale would have to be to give the appearance of 50,000 ft.

It's a multiplier to set against the current scale.

It's a ratio to provide control over the pixel/projection coordinates
relationship. That's why the answer to #1 is hard, because the scale
doesn't really have units to bounce the height over the map off of.
