Answer

And if you are talking about the Boeing 747 plane, we usually say "Boeing sieben-vier-sieben". The same goes for most numbers in any product name, unless it's a rather simple number like 2000 (zweitausend).

Otherwise we usually don't write out numbers greater than 12 in letters. There are only a few situations where we have to, e.g. when filling out a cheque. In these situations, we do it as DonHolgo explained.

Answer

The former, no space. Spaces just come into play above one million: 3,276,401,308 = drei Milliarden zweihundertsechsundsiebzig Millionen vierhunderteinstausenddreihundertacht.
