It won't if ya do it right :-)  Read the Handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html before installing and
there should be no problems.

Yes.  You'll be able install the boot manager when you install.  It'll
let you choose which OS you want to boot into.

No.  You'll need to ditch the Winmodem and get something else if you
want to connect with FreeBSD.
