Answer 1

Yes. First you need a so called "Crossover" ethernet cable. You need this to connect your Xbox with your PC.

Then run the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard on your PC. It will guide you step by step to let devices connect to the internet through your PC.

If you already have a Wireless router, try to get the WLAN adapter for the Xbox. However it costs about $70, but if you keep in mind, that your PC has to run all the time as long as you want to play Xbox, you will save a lot of electrical power.

A normal PC will use up about 100 to 150 Watts while running. The Xbox uses 180 Watts. So you will approximately save half of your power bill, if you only have your Xbox running instead of routing it through the PC.
