What I have gathered from various threads is that in propellers, the diameter is linked with torque(thrust) and pitch is linked with speed. Now, motors have a a recommended propeller size that should be used for the most efficient setup. I have a few questions that I am not getting the answers to.. please help me out:
1) Suppose the max prop size for a motor on 3s is 7x4. Can we go to a 8x3 without putting undue stress on the motor?
2) Will a 7x4 and a 7x3.5 prop provide the same thrust when spun by identical motors on identical batteries with only difference in the top speed and power consumed?
Thanks,

What you have asked is very general and impossible to answer empirically .
Try motocalc , it is a software specifically for rc electric flight

I have a Turnigy aerodrive xp 102W 1100kv motor running on a 25c 1.6Ah lipo 20A esc. Recommended prop size 7x4. But I could only get 7x3.5 props. Will the thrust produced be the same with both the props? If speed(pitch speed) required is not that high can I put a larger prop on it with lesser pitch to increase the thrust produced without exceeding 102W??

If you read the Understanding Electric Power thread, all this would be clear from the get go.  Obviously, a smaller pitch prop will give you a slightly lower thrust, and it will also reduce your amp draw by a little bit. 

In terms of prop selection, look at the amp draw charts for your specific motor, which would tell you what is the amp draw for various props.  The sure fire way to confirm amp draw/load is by using a wattmeter.

Now all of this needs to be looked in the perspective of what you are using the power system for, especially the AUW.

BTW, where is this 102W motor available ?  A quick check, to see if there are prop selection charts for this particular motor, could not locate such a product on the HK website.
