Hi there - Returning back to bonsai after many years. So excited. Picked this up at a local shop but I’m unsure of the species.

1) does this look like Fukien tea to you?
2) is the pot too small?
3) should I be concerned about the white substance on the branches / trunk?

thanks in advance and look forward to being back in this community!

1. Yes
2. No
3. Looks like lichen, so won't hurt anything
 
White stuff is lichen. Some like it and some don't. It has no effect on the tree and gives a look of great age. I install it on my trees when I can.
