Yes.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
Yes.

What "Mac"?
A desktop with osX 10.7.4
The reason is it helps to know if it is a notebook an iMac or a tower and whether it has mulitiple internal drives.
Plus you could easily run Windows in a VM for IE or see if you can get by with CrossOver Mac.
Kinda of like, Why wouldn't you be able? also (IE8 is what is supported and there is IE9 with IE10 in the wings).
How old the Mac is also can affect whether you can use 64-bit (preferable) or not and even if you need to run IE natively.
