Answer 1

yes you can use AIRPORT EXPRESS adaptors on windows pcs if they have a network connection in them

Answer 2

Yes



I can't remember the details, but your Airport setup utility should be able to give you the instructions for putting it in bridge mode.

Apple's a bit ambiguous about whether this will work with a router other than an Apple brand router though.

Answer 3

No this will not work. Sorry, but you can get some USB adapters for under $50.
