That depends on what you mean by "access the web". But, generally, yes, VB.NET can get the any publicly available website as well as create them using ASP.NET technology.

Of course! So long as the website is publicly visible on the Internet. There are MANY hosting companies that support ASP.NET applications.

OK. You've got some homework to do. Especially in how the Internet and web servers work, along with general IP networking. The webserver address specifies the location of the IIS server that your going to develop your ASP.NET project on. It is HIGHLY recommended that you develop your site on an IIS server on your own network, then transfer the completed site to a hosting server. Can anyone on the Internet see your website? Only if the machine that is hosting the site is visible on the Internet. Generally, this answer is no, unless you properly configure your network and machines and have them patched up and properly secured. If you're asking these kinds of questions, I would HIGHLY suggest you DON'T do this. There are many security concerns with opening up your private network to the real world. You'll probably have your network attacked within hours and risk having your machines turned into zombies, if not wrecked, spamming the rest of the world for you.
