Absolutely. You'll have no problems -- unless your external drive is formatted as NTFS, in which case you will be able to read from but not write to the drive. If you're just using it for one-way transfer from PC to Mac though that won't matter.

Yup. Works exactly the same.

If you thought you got attached to PCs, wait till you own your first Mac. I feel like my MacBook Pro is part of my family. (Not exaggerating, either. It's the first computer I've owned that actually manages to strike an emotional chord with you.)

I have never needed to use such a feature so I don't know. I would guess not though -- they do have an advanced permissions system but not (as far as I know) the ability to password protect a folder. All you can do is set access rights based on user or group. However there may be a third-party solution that lets you do this (or an OS feature that I am not aware of).
It does have this though -- probably not exactly what you're looking for but it's something:
