Will a 28-inch suitcase exceed the size limitation in Poland's trains?

Honestly, they don’t care. Have it on your laps if you’re stressed.

I’ve carried normal-size suitcases on Polish trains on several occasions, and never had any problems or had to pay any extra fee.

As Martin says, the TLK trains are older and less comfortable. They are usually also slower, as (on some routes) the EIC/EIP trains use new high-speed lines – but I don’t think that includes the Warsawa – Poznan route

Polish train carriages use a mix of open and compartment-style rolling stock. Generally, the open carriages have both overhead shelves and also shelves at the end of the carriages where you can put large items. The compartments have only overhead shelves, but these should be big enough for your case. In my experience, if you are seen to be struggling getting your case onto them you will also find Poles happy to help lift it into position.

I do not know what counts as oversize luggage, but I would be astounded if your bag were classified that way given some of the luggage I’ve seen pass without comment on Polish trains.

TLK trains have a lower standard of comfort than IC and EIC – they are generally older, seats are more cramped and they are not quite as clean. However, they are perfectly acceptable for most travellers and there is a first class option that will be more comfortable. Here are some images of first class and second class (I klasy / II klasy) seats on TLK trains.
