No.  CGI is the specification of the interface between the web server
and the application.  Without the web server, you don't have CGI.
Instead you would have a regular application.

No, IE simply reads the file, which has a MIME type of text/plain, and
renders it according to the MIME type.  No execution has occurred.

If you want to test out CGI scripts on your own machine, download
apache and set it up.

Failure is not an option.  It is bundled with the software.
