I'll try to answer your questions in the order you raised them.

Miultiplayer is best played over a LAN (local area network). Yes it is a very long game but there is a save game facility so it can be done over several sessions. New characters can join mid game using the party management facility to a maximum of 6. However be aware that there are many special items that are needed to complete the game. Dropping a player from the game with one of these items could have nasty consequences.

Yes you can start the game with 5th level or higher characters using the method you describe, but it takes any challenge out of the game. You may as well put the game away and just read the walkthrough.

There are expansions available for IWD, but there will be no sequels where you can export your character to.

Hope this helps.
