Apple LocalTalk Bridge (aka LaserWriter Bridge) is what you are looking for. You can DL it from Apple somewhere... It's unsupported, though, so you won't find much in the way of documentation. Download LocalTalk Bridge to your Wallstreet. Install the control panel. Use AppleTalk control panel to set the connection to "Ethernet." LocalTalk Bridge automatically "bridges" between whatever AppleTalk connection you select and the built-in Printer (or Printer/Modem) port. In "public" mode, ethernet clients can see LocalTalk clients. In private mode, they cannot. LocalTalk clients can always see Ethernet clients. As for Question 2, my computer is simply set (AppleTalk and TCP/IP) to Ethernet Built-In, or something like that. You should upgrade to at least System 7.5.5, by the way. 7.5.3 is buggy.
