Answer 1

You can't do it wireless without a router to assign an IP address.
If you have a router, then you need to make both computers part of the same "workgroup" (default for XP is MSHOME). Then you need to make the hard drive on each computer "shareable" by right clicking on the "c drive" in my computer and going to "sharing". After you have done that, then you should be able to see each computer in "my network places". You will be able to open, copy, move files etc.

Not sure what you mean by "control" the computer.

Answer 2

Only way to do something like that is Network the two computers or do remote assistance. The main comp has to be set up first then the secondary. Only thing that you would be able to do is share files and printers..etc....
There are programs that allow you to access his computer like gotomypc.com or try the link below.

Answer 3

sure you can have a peer to peer network via wireless. its called adhoc network. simply configure the wireless cards with the same settings but a different ip address in the same range of course.
