Yes.

The Squid FAQ covers all of these things. In addition to the squid.conf
documentation and the other online documentation for Squid, I think it
is all pretty well covered. Get each part working separately, as
documented, and then put it all together with appropriate ACLs (which
also pretty well documented).

Doesn't matter. All of them look the same to Squid...and you treat them
the same way in your ACLs.

I suggest starting out with some form of Basic authentication, since it
is simpler to make go, and if you need digest and/or ntlm you can add it
to the picture later. ncsa_auth is really easy to use for a beginner,
if you have any experience using htpasswd with Apache.
