no, but it counts as "accessed".

yes and no. This is recorded in the windows audit events though
so yes. but only if you are using auditing of files in the GPOs
(AD) or the user priviledges in NT4 domain. So only if implemented
that way.

depends on:
- NAS system
- OS
- Application

Test first. is it a client requirement? 
It can also change depending on upgrades.
I've seen it happen.

backup and AV software is usually aware of this. But check
anyway.

windows 95 is not aware of auditing I think...

NT5 and up should be if you turn it on.
