ffmpeg is probably what you want:
  http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/

Note that it can only convert from/to the older flash video format (i.e.
the Flash 7 format).

I believe so, and I believe it streams (i.e. it starts playing before
the flv is fully loaded). If you need something more sophisticated and
are looking for an open source solution try Red5:
