Will I really lose my R00 funding if I cannot get a faculty appointment before the end of my K99? What is the policy?

A K99 awardee can ask for a no-cost extension on the K99 for an additional year. If the awardee does not secure a job within the year of the no-cost extension, then this third year represents the terminal year for the K99.

For statements in support of Academic Career Awards, are we really restricted to 6 pages for statements by mentors or collaborators?

Yes, the page limit for statements by mentors, collaborators, or consultants is limited to 6 pages.  Attempts to circumvent the 6-page rule can result in error messages after the electronic file is uploaded. One remedy, when possible, is to ask collaborators or other contributors to write a joint letter that both can sign.
