Yep. The hard part is to write the handling of the submitted file (after
checking its size, the user's credentials, and a few other things).
The generics (with almost no info on ASP specifics, sorry) are described at

Yes. But there's unfortunately no way to restrict the choices (filter the
view) to Word documents, except manually by the user in the dialog.
Neither is there any way to set the initial directory in the form.

Maybe. But frames are considered evil, and displaying a Word document "inside
a browser" all too often messes things up.
