no, this is not constrained by workgroup boundaries

no - a non-domain machine will never see any accounts
other than what is defined on itself

sure - you then have one shared account database to use

you need server if you are going to form a domain or

Just give each user an account on the machine that is
to share out things (any such machine) and when they
connect to a share have them specify machinename\accountname
and their password where machinename is the sharing-out
machine. If the accounts match what they have logged in
with on their machine things can be more simple, but this
is not a requirement.
