Question 1 yes it can be done without registering with paypal and is only available for US accounts. select the "My Account" tab, the "Profile" sub-tab, under "Website Payment Prefereneces". Scroll down - its at the bottom, titled "PayPal Account Optional".
Question 2
Check out the following link:

Here is a free 3rd party cart. This might help with the tax since Paypal does not handle local tax.

I imagine a shopping cart script would be the answer but I do not know if I have to use one supplied by the hosting company (which it appears they do not provide one). Who on this list uses a stand-alone third party shopping cart that will do that? Client is on a budget so price is an issue.
