> What are the odds of a hash collision + identical filesize?

If implemented correctly, the additional constraint on filesize being the same is irrelevant. Given one particular hash value, the probability that a second file hashes to the same value is 1/(range of hash function) if the hash function is modeled as an ideal hash function.
