Yes. You have to convert it back to bytes and then to String
again with proper encoding:
String foo =
new String(req.getParameter("foo").getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"your_encoding");

No. HTTP don't specify charset of incoming requests. But the
charset is the same as in the page with the form, so you
have to know it. See http://www.w3.org/International/

Yes. If it is send by POST method use request.getInputStream()
and read it binary.
