Answer 1

You should be able to plug your computer's network cable into the "WAN" socket on your router and just use Windows' Internet Connection Sharing.

This will mean, however, that your PC and the other machines connected to your router are on different networks and you will find it difficult to share stuff.

You could also try plugging your computer's network cable into one of the "LAN" sockets on your router as long as you turn off the DHCP server and NAT on your router. Now all connected devices should be on the same network.

Answer 2

The easiest option is to connect your computer to the router via the ethernet card and configure the system to transparently bridge the wifi card and the ethernet card.

This way every other computer connected to your router (working as a switch, not as a router) will see your friends router.

Note that you don't use the router WAN port for this.

Answer 3

It depends on hardware of router. The configuration when same wireless radio acts as a wireless client usually excludes ability to run access point on same radio. Problem is almost completely solved in Win7 (not in Vista) https://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/
