Drastically overweight? No. Obese? Technically, yes.
Increase your metabolism? Yep. Muscle Mass. Each extra pound of muscle will burn an extra 50 calories per day at rest. Add in the exercise to build, and the energy expenditures required to form muscle, and you've got a nice little metabolic machine. SSC is the resident bodybuilder, and can probably give you some good starting pointers.

The least I've ever weighed at 6'4 is 200lbs.
I think it depends more on shoulder width, hip width, ect.
I never really believed that there should be specific weights for specific heights. If you think you look good, then your weight is fine.
