    its just a hyperlink much like any webpage.

    Take on file:// in the front of it.
    You cant write to pdf's unless you have a writer.

    No, I don't think that's necessary. I believe you can create something called PDF Forms which allows inputs. But I don't think you'd be able to retrieve the values entered, the users will have to send it back themselves.
