I have noted that in my computer Android and Eclipse are very slow. I agree that my computer has not very much memory but I was wondering is there any lightweight version of the emulator and is there some lighter IDE than Eclipse which supports Android development and Android debugger?
Yes, 8GB is more than enough. With 4GB you're covered! Android Studio System Requirements recommends 4 gigs for optimal experience. So yeah, 8 should be plenty!
Minimum space and configuration requirements: Officially android studio requires a minimum of 4GB RAM but 8GB RAM is recommended for it. It also requires a minimum of 2GB Disk Space but 4GB Disk Space is recommended for it.
Select Project Details under the project's thumbnail. Select the More menu. Select Duplicate.

No.

Short answer: no. But, you can use the android tools to set up a project, use any plain text editor to edit java sources and use ant to compile everything and adb to install to the emulator.
See http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/other-ide.html
you can code in any text editor or java ide. The Android SDK supports command line compiling. Using eclipse is just the easiest way to do so.
