No. The browser must be configured to use a proxy for authentication to
be possible.

Yes, If using Basic HTTP authentication.

If using NTLM authentication then MSIE users logged on to the domain
automatically log on to the proxy with their domain username (password
is protected by the domain).

Is also an option, but won't give you as detailed information about web
traffic as using a HTTP proxy, or provide any benefits in terms of
authentication..
