    1. Can you install this program on your site off-line before going live? How?

    2. If people upload a file into the form, is there any security available so that they can't upload something malicious like an executable file?
    Thanks.

    1.) Yes, something is online considered "online" if you present it somewhere where is can be seen.  If there is no link to the form.html then nobody knows it exists except you therefore it is essentially "offline".  There are other things you can do like put the form in a subdirectory and then you can even password protect that directory so only tou can use it.  Many options.
    2.) Yes but this type of protection is something you will have to add to your processor.php file.  Checkout this page for some ideas.
