The file extensions for certificates are *.p12 or *.pkcs12. And the
certificate must also be in that format. Don't know if the IE
certificates are in that format though.

See above.

Yes. Because TSVN does an 'svn st -u' before each update to make sure
that if you select several files for updating that all those files get
updated to the same revision (to prevent different revisions if someone
else commits a new revision between updates).

"password" is not the same as a certificate.

You have to tell Subversion which certificates to use! To do that, go to
the folder %APPDATA%\Subversion (%APPDATA% is on a german system usually
in c:\dokumente und einstellungen\username\Anwendungsdaten). Then edit
the file "servers" with your favourite text editor. You will find in
there all the information you need - most of those config lines are
comments and help texts. Check out the config options
ssl-client-cert-file
ssl-client-cert-password
ssl-trust-default-ca
ssl-authority-files
