>1) Is there a Web-server for FreeBSD ?

Yep!  Both http://www.freebsd.org and http://www.cdrom.com are hosted
from FreeBSD (running versions 1.1.5.1 and 2.0, respectively).  FreeBSD
boxes appear to make excellent web servers.

Yes and yes.

>3) What are minimum/reasonable hardware requirements for FreeBSD ? ( I browsed

80MB of disk, 486 or fast 386, 8MB of memory.  The rest you can best determine
for yourself..
