Default Props, ESC's, & Motors.. Need Help.

Let me start off by saying that I am fairly new to electrics, and I need to know some info from people that are experienced with the right combination of things.

First off- this is what I am flying right now---
Jeti 8 amp. ESC
Thunder power 3s. 730 mAH.
AXI 2208/34 brushless motor
APC 10x3.8
With this setup I am flying a Tensor 4D.

Here are a few of my questions:
This set-up seems to work fine, but I dont really know what fine is--
Is there a better prop selection for this combination of gear?
I want to make sure that I am not overloading my gear with too much prop-
If I move to a smaller diameter prop. and less pitch(or more pitch?) Is it possible to in a way over-rev my motor?

I know that there are formula's to calculate these kinds of things--
If anybody knows of such a formula-please share.

I just want to get the most out of my model without bad consequences-
Thanx
