Well, I'm not exactly sure where the 43mm filter thread is located on this, but if we assume it's the interior ring just inside the lettering, then we can transfer measurements from one image to the other and it looks like the sensor is approx 18mm wide... so 2X crop.
(note: this is only approximate because it is a little difficult to make measurements of small images that are not perpendicular to the image plane)

If it's with the size and price tag of the current Zeiss ZA 24mm I don't think so.
off topic but sure it will, Sony can barely make enough of the ZA 24mm as it is. There's extremely high demand for compact prime Zeiss autofocus lenses.

Consumer MFT cameras are very often bundled with pancake primes.
And the Sony 16 was also a kit lens. A wide or wide normal pancake is de rigeur for a mirrorless system, every current one has at least one. And a 22/2 is a heck of a lot better choice than the 16 Sony went with.

That won't happen anyways, Sony already does a 30/3.5 Macro for E system, they won't bring out a second one so close. I'm expecting a 35/1.8 based on the A mount optics and something longer in a ZA (I'd kill for a ZA E 50/1.4 Sonnar)
Im surprised the company that made their established pro lenses not compatible with their new mount even via adapter with reduced functionality would play it so safe.
Where did you get the dimension?
I estimate more like 2X. This is based on the 43mm filter thread. Then obtain lens barrel diameter from the picture with the lens. Transfer the barrel diameter onto the image of the camera without lens.

Don't you have to account for perspective distortion?
yes.. that's why this would all be approximate.
I tried to account for perspective distortion by take the closest part of the image and measuring only dimensions that lie parallel to the axis of rotation.

This then gives us about 18mm wide sensor.
I worked with the reference of a 2cm hotshoe. I made it real quick since I'm at work and it's difficult to do precise measurements on such a low-res file.
So take this merely as rough measurements.
