Answer 1

Technically - Yes. The other computer will get infected, once he opens the archive or the exe file.

But if that computer has a Antivirus which will detect that particular Virus, then no. The file will be blocked.

Answer 3

Depending on the behaviour of the virus. Some virus will embed themselves onto all sorts of files while some will only attack certain part of the registry.

Your best bet is to run a antivirus scan on the disc before double clicking on any installation (exe) files in that disc.
