image in article excerpt listings?

Hi two question about displaying excerpts in article lists:
1. im trying to get the listings to include a thumbnail image along with the excerpt.
Should i do this manually or is there a way to pull in an article image thumb from the article?
2. Can i put a word count or word limit on the excerpts?

im using this form to generate my lists:
<h2><txp:title /> <span class=“permlink”><txp:permlink>:</txp:permlink></span> </h2>
<txp:excerpt /> <txp:permlink>read more</txp:permlink>

Id like to get something like this working:
<h2><txp:title /> <span class=“permlink”><txp:permlink>:</txp:permlink></span> </h2>
<article img class=“article_image”>
<txp:excerpt wordcount=“100”/> <txp:permlink>read more</txp:permlink>
thanks in advance

1. Instead of <article img class="article_image"> use <txp:article_image thumbnail="1" class="article_image" />.
