NFS gives you basically the same thing. The filesystem resides
on the server, and you mount it on one or more clients. Then
programs running on the clients access the files as though they
were local.
There's an NFS HOWTO here.

Not by default. I don't know whether there's an option to encrypt NFS
traffic. If there is, it would be in the international kernel patch
(www.ikernel.org).
