This depends on the network drive. If it supports FTP or UPnP/DLNA then you will be able to access it. If it appears as a Windows share or a NFS share, then it won't work out of the box.

Don't worry about this. The settings from your SIM card will be used. There's no need to configure the 3G internet access point or the SMS settings.

A good idea.

Get some tissue paper ready because the device will make you drool over it.
