Yes and yes. Since Sage is written in Python you can use all of
Python's file functions. See http://www.diveintopython.org/toc/index.html
and specifically http://www.diveintopython.org/file_handling/file_objects.html

VMware offers a shared folder - see
http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_running_shared_folders.html
for details and how to set that up. That way you can access, create
and work with files that are on the Windows side transparently from
Sage. Note that in Sage you need to give the Linux path, not the
Windows one.
Cheers,
