This I don't know; have never tried.

Arrange it so that your working copies are accessible to the web
server. For example, in the web development company where I worked,
all our working copies were stored undir the public_html directory so
that we could access them in the web browser via http://server/
~username/workingcopy. All our web sites are programmed to still be
able to function regardless of where on disk they're stored. (Shared
directories, such as photo upload directories, are defined as
constants within the web site configuration files.)
We all worked in the same local office building so we usually stored
working copies in our home directories on the central server and
accessed these via Samba to edit the files from our desktops. However
I also occasionally checked out projects on my laptop and used its
web server. You merely then have to make sure to configure the local
machines the same as the server (install web server, scripting
language, database server, etc.) and program the project in a way
that lets you easily switch which machine it runs on.

No, Subversion currently requires the .svn directories.
If you use svk, which is based on Subversion, I believe it does not
use .svn directories. Perhaps this will work better for you.
What web server are you using that doesn't let you disallow access to
files based on a parent directory name? Rules like that would be easy
to write for Apache or lighttpd for example.

Ah. Well perhaps you'll want to look into the rsync program then.
