Depends on the BIOS.  Any modern BIOS should allow you the option to boot
without a keyboard.

I see no mention of Microsoft.  Since you mention it, my experience has
been that newer, NT-based OSes don't care if you have a mouse or not.  The
cursor is displayed locally by VNC just fine.

Again, it generally doesn't matter.  The BIOS might stop it (though you
should be able to shut that off).

I wouldn't suggest removing PS/2 components from a running system unless
you absolutely have to.  That said, if your software won't start without
them you should just leave them attached.  Less hassle when you have to
eventually reboot.  Or spring for a decent KVM that will emulate these
connections and allow you to have console access when you need it.
