You'll probably be ok going one size bigger on the drive, but I'd definitely confirm with the manufacturer just how much oversizing you can do. I've seen problems caused by using a 2HP drive to run a .5HP motor (or something like that).
I would also stick with the manufacturer's recommendation for line side protection. As long as the drive isn't a lot bigger than the motor, it should be smart enough to protect the motor.
