Third major revision underway, should be a lot clearer and concise.
1) Surf the web with 7.1: Absolutely.
2) Ethernet card driver: Of course you'll have to install it.
3) Web browser: It will have to be install it manually. NCSA Mosaic, MacLynx, iCab 2.9.9 with Thread Manager and I think Drag & Drop is required, and probably Scriptable Finder (7.1.3). I do have a backup version of iCab that was supposed to run on System 7 without those extensions -- either way, 7.1 with extensions can bring it close to 7.5 without the drag of 7.5.
4) Oldest: Humm not something I can answer directly, but this page can. Either way, System 6 is the oldest "independent" that can run off an Ethernet network, MacTCP, and MacWWW, which has some rather sour reports. I've never used it, but I will eventually to see what it's like. Expect lots of bombs.
