1) No. The "wireless network adapter" is to connect to your network wirelessly (instead of using the CAT5 cabling). The wireless controllers have nothing to do with the network adapter.
2. Basically, it converts your wireless controller into a wired one, allowing you to continue using the console, and charging the controller at the same time. Strangely, this does NOT charge the wireless controller when the XBOX is turned off, so if you want to charge the wireless controller using this, you have to keep the xbox turned on. I am pretty sure you need one play and charge kit per controller (if you want to charge them at the same time, if you only need to charge one at a time, you should be able to just have one play and charge kit).
3. It depends on how much multiplayer online you want to do, whether it's worth it. The premium edition (the one with the hard drive) should come with a 30 day trial of gold, so you can check it out.
4. if you have a hard drive, you should not need memory card.

thankyou verymuch for the answers... but the play & charge kit is a USB connector right? i read at ebgames that you can connect to the computer so it can charge when the console is turned off is this true??
and...
can someone say the name of a good LCD moniter for playing the 360???
thanks

Yes you can use your pc to charge it if you want, I did and it works fine. I would stay away from lcd, the refresh rates aren't very good on lcd and can produce ghosting. Stick with crt or dlp.

Good idea, you could connect the play and charge to the computer... the XBOX uses standard USB ports as well.
If you must have a LCD, try Sharp or Samsung (or perhaps Sony, but they are expensive). I have a Samsung 32 LCD and it's great. I also have a Samsung 50 DLP, and it's great as well :-)

Most HDTV are larger than 21", however...
you may want to see something like:
http://www.viewsonic.com/products/tventertainment/lcdtv/n2050w/
I am not necessarily recommending the above, but it does have both a VGA (for computer) and component connector (for xbox 360).
Basically a HDTV connector can be any standard hi definition connector. Most commonly today that would be either:
Component, DVI, or HDMI.
Since the XBOX 360 uses a component, that is hwo you would connect the LCD panel to the Xbox 360.

wow nice... but my tv here at home has a component, and S-video input... would it be better buying one of those S-video cableS?

I think you got component and composite mixed up. Component is 3 cables. Composite is a single cable.
