Person viewing file www.domain.com/bluewidgets.html can chat via their browser and that file with someone viewing file www.domain.com/redwidgets.html via a separate browser and their discussion can be watched and joined via a third browser by someone viewing www.domain.com/greenwidgets.html?

Yes. Google chat accessible from gmail is an example of a similar thing. And I'm guessing there are at least two open source AJAX based IRC clients. Make a chat room just for your site, and you're done.

Of course it can :) The only question is whether you really want to sit there the whole day moderating it...
