check out a site called XBox Scene...

By default, no, it cannot do it. But I know there is homebrew software that will let you do this.

Yeah you can stream with XBMC, you have to set up some software on your mce box to serve it to the xbox, and there are at least a few choices of applications for that. I don't know them off hand, but as the other poster said, there is a ton of information on the subject at xboxscene.

dont need to stream. just setup a filesharing folder on the PC and play the files from the xbox with XBMC.
