There is basic HTTP streaming but you need to know the URL from some JSON-RPC request.
Always read the online manual (wiki), FAQ (wiki) and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail Team Kodi members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules (wiki).
Please read the pages on troubleshooting (wiki) and bug reporting (wiki) before reporting issues.

Partly yes. When e.g. using VideoLibrary.GetMovies (or GetMovieDetails) you can retrieve the "file" property to get the path to the actual file. You can then pass that into Files.PrepareDownload to get the path you need to call on the webserver to download (or in case of a video file possibly stream) the file.

I accidentally stumbled over this thread and got an idea for a web interface for streaming/downloading stuff from your library. The main idea was that my mom could use it. If anyone wants to take a look the project is hosted at https://github.com/Jalle19/xbmc-video-server. I will likely make a separate thread about it once it's more finished.
