3. There are server addons to prevent griefing. BlockLog(?) records every block every player places and when. It allows rolling back of only their actions, making it a powerful anti-grief tool. The other notable addon is called Towny. It lets users create "towns" where only a resident can alter blocks within the borders.
4. The server software is pretty simple. After purchasing the game, there is another download on the download page. Assuming you use Windows, you only need to run a single executable file to run the server. Depending on what mods and addons you use, it might be more complicated. You will need to portforward if you want anybody to connect, but that is standard practice for these kinds of things. I would suggest checking out the forums, as they have a lot of valuable resources.
I have no idea about 1 and 2.
