    1) Yes they will 🙂 As long as they have enough space on their account they will be fine. 

    2) Yes. Thats how shared folders work - as long as they go to the web to get the updated files, or, have Dropbox running on a computer the changes will sync down to it.

    3) They can add any file, at all, in to the share which will sync with everybody in that folder as long as they have enough quota - and everybody else does to get the files as well (or it wont download for them). 

    4) They will need an account and can either use the website or the software.

    5) They will auto get shared access to sub folders of the directory you share.
