The latter enables WEP encryption. WEP is better than nothing, but
offers no real protection.

Yes.

All wifi station *must* use the same encryption settings. Otherwise,
they cannot talk to each other.

That depends on how you set up Vista. Generally, you need the same
settings on both sides.

Yes. (Or no: it is not that they should be similar, they *must* be
*equal*.)

I do not know what wifi-radar is but it sounds like you try to look for
a network share with an inappropriate tool.

> 6- Can network be setup without any encryption and security types ?

Yes.
