This is just a question HOW you logon. If you already have apache auth 
set up and you want to continue to use those accounts, you can enable 
moin (setting auth_http_enabled or similar, see HelpOnConfiguration).

Be aware that your http auth user names have to match your wiki user 
account names.

Yes. Create a group called ValidUsersGroup and put everybody in who is 
allowed to see your stuff.

Then use:

acl_rights_default = "ValidUserGroup:read,write,delete,revert All:"

On the FrontPage and UserPreferences, put "#acl All:read" so that they 
can at least read the hint how to get an account, and logon.

Anybody can create his own account then, but only if you put him/her 
onto ValidUserGroup (of course you can protect that page by more 
restrictive ACLs than the default, if you want/need), he can really make 
use of it.
