I've answered these as best I can in http://www.oki.com/vrml/VRML_FAQ.html
(modulo a few things this week)

Basically, now. The TGS viewer should be out for public consumption in a
matter
of days - they have given out a few alpha copies. The EMWACS server can
deliver, as can any http server. (the compression issue aside).

Creation would currently need to be via translator from 3DS, DXF, etc. I
know
the author of the wc2pov translator has put VRML output into a new tool
wcvt2pov, but he has not released it.
