Default Cape Jasmine - Inside, Or Out?

I bought a Cape Jasmine a month, or so ago, to go in a bed at the end of my
back garden. At the garden centre it was in a well sheltered (and covered)
outside area. Now I'm having second thoughts about putting it outside as it
has a label which says "position in bright light (not direct sun) in a warm
room."

The bed I planned for it is sheltered and partially shaded. If I decide to
transplant it outside I'll harden it off, for a week or so, once the
overnight frosts have gone, and plant it in ericaceous compost.

Am I asking for trouble putting this plant outside?

What height and spread should I expect?

Can it be pruned to keep it in shape/bushy?
