Hey Alexis - for #1, if you're on the MIT network, I'd get a static IP address and configure Windows to use it.  For #2, would scp work?  If so, enabling "remote login" in the sharing system preference turns on both ssh and scp access.  Most modern file transfer programs, include Fetch, support scp.  When you enable any remote access service, you'll want to use strong passwords, and limited access to only accounts that need it.
