well, it depends on your router's NAT implementation really.

You can't go wrong forwarding both the TCP and the UDP port with overnet.

Yes - switch to the status page and look into the status bar at the bottom.
Alternatively, type '!g' into the toolbar

Unfortunately the core is only available as a binary. However, there is also 
cdonkey (http://cdonkey.suche.org), which is an open-source core that works 
with ed2k-gtk-gui and supports both edonkey and overnet as far as I know (not 
sure how far the overnet support is though).
