Answer 1

1. It is the conceptual model for Microsoft's Entity Framework.
2. It is used as a data layer, you could build a ui that is rendered from the model produced via the Entity Framework.
3. Yes, you could use Microsoft's MVC and the Entity framework to do this however the scope of this would be very wide. You would be better of looking for a tutorial on this, there are many on http://asp.net/
