A320 mcdu predictions

The mcdu is used for long term predictions when we fly in full managed. The question is, it uses the entered wind for predictions. Supposing the winds are different than entered by how much will the predictions differ. The optimum altitude is catered for by current conditions, what about fuel and constraints?
Next. Does the airbus assume anti ice ON descend and calculates TOD? Will there be a marked difference in profile with eng anti ice on/off...any relation to idle factor+delta?
Next. Alternate predictions in engine out, we must revise the alternate fuel right? Any way to change the default alternate crz altitude from 310 and 220 in wind page?
