Yes.

No

Depends on the auth scheme used. NTLM/NEGOTIATE (microsoft integrated
login) cannot be proxied, basic can but you must tell Squid that you
want to (see the cache_peer directive).

If the ISA only accepts "Microsoft Integrated Login" and reconfiguring
the ISA to also accept standard basic authentication ("plain-text") is
not acceptable then see the related software for some useful glue..

kernel
script or program to mount drives (optional) and set up networkging
(required)
squid.conf
squid

this won't be RedHat advanced server however..

Any minimal Linux with networking is generally sufficient for Squid to
be happy.
