How would limiting the size of roman estates help the poor?
As Rome grew, many Rome's rich landowners lived on huge estates. Small farmers found it difficult to compete with the large estates. So a large number of them old their lands to wealthy landowners. They became poor and jobless. So if they limited the size of the roman estates, the small farmers wouldn't have to sell lands and become poor.
What is a ancient roman farming estate that uses enslaved people?
There was not a name for a farming estate which used slave labour. Slaves worked on large landed estates. These were called fundi (plural of fundus) or latifundia (plural of latifundium, "spacious" + fundus, "farm, estate"). The name remained after these estates stopped using slave labour.

Did workers get paid in Medieval Times?
Actually, queens did get paid. Most kings gave their queens allowances, and these were often fairly large. In addition, queens usually had their own estates, and the people who lived on the estates paid rent to the queen. An example is Emma of Normandy. When she married Ethelred the Unready, her father, who was the Duke of Normandy, gave her some property he owned in England as a wedding present. The property consisted of the cities of Exeter and Winchester.
