Yes you need a crossover cable.

Yes.
You treat the connection like it is the WAN connection and give out a different IP range in the DHCP. You will effectively have two separate networks this way, but your Internet connection will go two hops to the wireless.
If you need to do other sharing, it is easier to use the wireless router only.
You can make exceptions in the firewall on the second router that will allow services like File and Print Sharing to work, but that is a little complicated issue to deal with in a short answer.

Yep - all (?) wireless routers will have two ethernet ports.
You could either:
Plug the wireless router straight into your ADSL modem, then connect your other router to the wireless router, or ...
If your wired router has more than one ethernet port, run the wireless straight out of this.
IMPORTANT NOTE - in the first example, the wireless should be configured as DHCP
In the second example, the wired router should be configured as DHCP

Yes, but make sure only one of the routers is acting as DHCP server.
