Crown molding - how large? Textured walls?

We have 8'10" ceilings in the living room. I would like to put in crown molding similar to the attached photo. There are two issues:

1. Our windows reach much higher than the entryways. There is about 5 inches from the top of the casing to the cieling. Above the entryways, there is about a foot and a half. Can the moldings 'overlap' the casings around the window?

2. The walls are textured: like popcorn ceilings but with hard plaster. In the molding picture, there is a flat white bit that I would normally just paint that part of the wall white to mimic. How do I do that on textured walls? Do I need to have a thin board there?
