No, PNG's can NOT be animated. You're talking about the other format called MNG (which MSN Messenger doesn't use), which is based upon the same imageformat, but is an entirly different fileformat.

Possible, although not so easy to implement (extracting, showing, hooking, whatever, ...)
Putting another file in the comment tag of a image is easy on itself though, that's not the problem...

No, there isn't any plugin to do that, (although there exists a Korean addon van MSN Messenger called PowerPlus, but that's something different, although related)

And both users will always have to install such plugins/addons. Either for putting up the image, either for showing the image...
