Yea the way i measured was to get the old (long belt) and cut it then wrap ait round the alt pully and bottom pully then mark with tip ex (or similer) to the size you need, then took it to my local factors and got a belt the same size

It is very close on mine and yes mine touches, but not everyones does, guess it depends on what mounts you buy and whether or not you have a bent corsa or not .

Yes it will rub if your mounts are bodged like yours
Mine has plenty clearance and has never touched the body
