eXist normally ships with a Java client which allows to browse the 
contained files (and collections) : http://exist.sourceforge.net/client.html

Start eXist and just use http://localhost/client.html on your browser.

See above.

If you store the config file *before* uploading the file to the DB, the 
file should normally be indexed. Otherwise... do a manual reindex... 
using the client.

See eXist/webapp/WEB-INF/data

No. It takes some time.
