If I have a failed RAID 5 with 3 drives, and I can't get the size I had before, would it be acceptable to replace the failed drive with a larger capacity? Would I be able to rebuild the array using the rebuild feature just the same?
 
it will probably work, but only use the size of the original disk. I'd just buy a new array, if you can afford it (I can't... but if it's business, replace it!) since the other drives are probably thinking about failing now.
