good question... it depends on various things.
first of course the constructive stability. without something to lean on, you would have to use a different kind of structure. and i am not sure what the preproduced scaffolding elements will allow in this regard.
but supposed the mounts are flexible enough to form a selfsupporting structure, there is really no limit.
except of course that the higher you get, the broader your base gets. because the combined weight of all elements will rest on the downmost ones, and they can take only so much weight. if you want to add to that, you need more elements om the ground and more supportive elements to distribute part of the weight to them...
this said, scaffolding is a pretty rackety construction, designed for easy build up and down, with loose fittings, that will need another structure to lean on for stability...
in terms of absolute numbers... my estimate is no more than a hundred feet, but i would not recommend to climb it :)

Depends upon the country and culture. Singapore towers was scaffolded using Bamboo, to an elevation of 114 stories.

It depends on how large the base of the scaffolding is, how it's built, what it's made of etc.. etc..

Essentially that is what the Eifel Tower is

depends on the wind.
