look on this forum and you'll find all your answers - don't get this device if you can't search for the answers yourself and need everything spoon fed.

Earl00 is right - read before asking...

The Nokia n800 runs Linux, but basically needs programs already ported to run on it (some exceptions, mainly command-line programs). Lots available at http://maemo.org/

As for Word/Excel, I've installed the Mozilla-based browser and use Google docs - works great for that quick read of a Word attachment.

You can tether the n800 via a 3g phone - I use USBModem on my Treo 700p - works great! Many phones work out of the box - you cell provider may want $$$ YMMV

You can do most of what you want to do, but if learning isn't your idea of fun, you should probably forget it. Everything isn't going to work the way you want the first day, and maybe not the first few months. You are getting a very cool device -- AND a hobby.
