i wonder if the original plan for 500 stations has been abandoned?

It will still get there, but all expansions are happening slower right now because of the Bixi/Alta reorganization. The company that supplies the bikes was owned by the City of Montreal, and they sold it, so there's been very limited expansion this year. DC got in just under the wire with a handful of new stations, but NY & Chicago (and most of the DC expansion) have to wait until next year.
New systems in Baltimore, Portland, and Vancouver are also delayed until 2015, for the same reason.

Not at first. Fairfax County has funded some bikeshare stations in Reston (not Tysons), but I believe they're on hold for the same reason as above. Tysons will surely happen eventually, but AFAIK it's not funded yet.
