Welcome.
1. No. REAPER does not supply any instruments really. It has a great many effects bundled with it but no instruments. REAPER is the anti-thesis of bloated software packages. You pick your own, either from the large pool of excellent freeware or paid instruments.
2. I've rewired Reason 5 with no problems. Both MIDI and audio in separated tracks.
3. It should work. A dedicated sound card will of course allow you to have heavier projects with more plugs running but REAPER is extremely efficient as is so you should not have a problem, really. But YMMV.
