Answer 1

Yup, very easily, just change the setting under iTunes that make it automatically update your ipod and when you're ready to use your laptop again you can put the songs back onto iTunes.
You can contact me if you have any other questions.
Unlike the person below me, I've never had those experiences. I was even amazed at how simple it was to copy music but let me tell you another way.
When you're ready to use your laptop open up My Computer.
Under My Computer you should see your ipod under devices with removable storage, click on it.
Under you ipod open up "ipod Control" and copy the music folder inside onto you laptop.
Voila, you can add that folder to your library from iTunes.
This method has worked for me quite a few times with quite a few ipods, old and new.

If you put it directly in your ipod and don't have the music anymore, then no you can't. If it plays on your ipod, then you can't take it out. It is impossible, unless you have an illegal downloader. Itunes doesn't want people to tranfer any songs from the ipod. you have to have it saved on your computer and put it on your storage part of your ipod,Where you can't play it with the ipod when it is disconnected from your computer. It sux. That's why some people don't like ipods.
