iChat uses AIM and Jabber protocols, so it does not work with MSN. Google Talk is a Jabber service, and .mac is an AIM service. It is not related to your email, unless you have a .mac account (in which case your .mac email is the same as your AIM login).
The people you are chatting with do not have to be using Macs. They just need to be on the same network as you. If your friends are using an AIM client on a PC, you can use an AIM login to chat with them on iChat. If your friends are on Google Talk on a PC, you can use a Google Talk login in iChat to chat with them.
You can use MSN on a Mac, but not with iChat.

To set up iChat instant messaging you will need a .Mac account or an AIM account.
