Answer 1

Yes, you can do this with winpcap. It should work on Windows 7 (though you may have to get a beta version of it). This is all I could find for doing it in delphi:

I don't know how well that works with the latest version of winpcap though. I'd seriously consider just doing it in C or C++.

Answer 2

Since your goal is to allow UDP broadcast in the VPN I suggest to take a look at VPN solutions that does not drop those packets such as Hamachi or Gamer's Internet Tunnel instead of creating your own solution.
