Too bad about your computer. I know how it feels man.

The latest version of iTunes only allows you to copy songs from your computer TO your iPod, but not vice-versa. As for me, I don't choose the auto-update option of iTunes - I prefer to manually manage my songs, lest iTunes get the wiser of me and delete my iPod's songs not found on my computer (I think that's what will happen).

However, you can always back-up your iPod to any computer using 3rd party apps downloadable from either www.ipodlounge.com or www.ipodsoft.com. If you're a Mac user, my favorite is Senuti; if the PC's your cup of tea, there's Ipod Agent for Windows.

Good luck.

Yes you can copy files to and from your iPod. The iPod acts like an external HD. You can even boot from it.
This was discussed here extensively. Use the search button in the upper right corner and learn a lot more.
