The entire point of a bump-out is that you don't need to extend the foundation - you bump out over the foundation and support it with wood (I wish I knew the technical terms or how to describe it, but I'm sure you can find some pics and plans online).
Yes ... which is why I'm not sure it would work with my particular house without some sort of foundation, alas. The size I need (~5' x 12.5') would be a little big for that too, I expect.

I believe that would depend on which direction the floor joists under your existing kitchen run and whether structure could be built far enough under the existing to support the new. Personally I would probably avoid that design because I have seen too many cantilevered designs with vegetation growing underneath. 5' would be a long way to crawl under to pull weeds.

Another reason to go with some sort of foundation!! I'd be afraid not only of vegetation but also of critters moving in.
