Answer 1

You can access local files in Silverlight 4 if running as a trusted application, but not in Silverlight 3 without user interaction.

Note also "you can access only files in user folders, specifically the MyDocuments, MyMusic, MyPictures, and MyVideos folders. "

Answer 2

Nope you can't do this, you would need SL4 OOB with Elevated Trust to be able to this.
