1. If I use spaces in the filenames of html pages (e.g. 'How to do this and that.html') or in folder names; is there any possibility that this may cause any problems in some types of known browsers (non IE) or in the indexing of my pages on search engines?...or even on the hosting server itself?
2. I have an index.shtml page that contains several SSI files like <!--#include file=myfile.htm-->. When search engine robots come to crawl my pages, do they get the index.shtml page "as is", i.e. as if it was opened as a text file in notepad for example, or will they get the page after it gets parsed by the server as it can be seen in the browser?
Thank you.

Don't do that. Use hyphens.

The robot will see the same thing the browser sees as far as HTML code goes. (To answer your question: After the server has parsed the code.)
I prefer to use the _underscore_.
EG: 'How_to_do_this_and_that.html'
