No; each user of NT, either on the workstation or in a domain, can have a 
login script.  Guess you could use the same for all if you really wanted.  Go 
to Admin Tools, User Manager, select a user, then Profile.  You'll find a 
place for Login Script Name.  It must be located in 
%SystemRoot%\system32\repl\import\scripts.

If the user names are the same, yes, you'll get prompted.

Nope, load Client Services for Netware.  This will query the user for the 
file server of interest.

There are a couple now or soon to be.
