This question is far too broad for Quick Answers. you need to do some research into USB hardware and Windows Device Drivers.

In principle, yes. However, most of the time developers use USB-to-serial converters for dealing with the MCU, the drivers of such converters (like for instance FT232R[^]) are provided by their manufactures.

That's up to you. If your program interacts with the MCU using a virtual serial port (most programming languages provide serial communication facilities) then you may choose a language allowing you to control the browser and the media player without too much effort (C# I suppose).
