Probably.  I never suffered from that yet though.

No.  However there are two alternatives that work in text mode: 
lynx and links (note the spelling).

Don't know.  However you can find the floppy image and the tools to write it 
from DOS on the CD itself as well as on RedHat's FTP site.

Certainly.  See the BRLTTY distribution for instructions.
