Many distros will allow you to download the files necessary to boot your machine and then you download only the programs you need/want. Debian Sarge is one of them... I used this sometime back. But it is still a download process so good luck

Yes, but with difficulty. The easiest method is likely a bootable USB key. Also you could install it in a virtual machine like QEMU using just a downloaded CD image without it ever touching the CD.
Ultimately, it depends on what variant of Linux you want to install.

It is possible to install to a USB drive and then install from the USB drive to the internal drive.
Since it's the one you seem interested in, the directions for doing so with Ubuntu are here:

There ARE certain distributions that can be installed from floppy disks, but these are fairly rare. If you have a fairly modern system, you can order Ubuntu or Kubuntu from their websites, for free. It may take a while, though (mine came in two weeks).

Yes, simply pay the shipping for the free linux distro of your choice and install it.

yeah u can. use VMWARE WORKSTATION software. but for this u need to have a windows operating system installed. using VMWARE u can create a interface between windows and linux. and u can easily switch between the both OS.
