Yes they are but I'll point you in some directions.

You need a network adaptor to connect it to a PS2, and no not any HDD will work. Since you are new, I would advise you to stay away from Western Digitals. Seagates work generally well but if you want to be almost certain the drive will work stick with Maxtor. Try to go for 40GB-120GB. psdrives.x-pec.com has a list of compatible drives, but even sometimes, the most compatible drive doesn't work for some configurations.

No, the HDD can't really be connected that way to transfer saved game files. But you can use the network adaptor to transfer save files to your PC from your memory card.
