2. Yes you can dual boot.
When you install OpenSolaris the GRUB bootloader is installed.
>From this bootloader you can basically boot any other OS by editing 
this entry: /boot/grub/menu.lst
or in ZFS: /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
Before this your harddisk needs to be partioned.
Or when starting from a machine with windows installed, you can shrink the 
drive, install
OpenSolaris on the free space and then add this line to 'menu.lst'
