That is what I'm running on my bike and is a good combination: 700c wheels, 44/32/22 with an 11/34 cassette. I not much help with 10 speed systems, because all my experience is with 9 speed parts compatibility. However, chainrings and cassettes are pretty much the same.
Yes, 26". I'll start with the 24 tooth on the front & try it out a bit and go from there. I'll probably wind up changing the cassette also.

It's good to do this now, when the day comes to upgrade because of worn components I'll know what gearing I need.
