But that's some awful HTML. I don't even think you can call that HTML.

I then opened the file in Word 2007 and saved it as "Web page, filtered" and opened that file just fine with Sigil. The layout is the same in Sigil and Word (as far as I can tell from a quick glance).

You should always use the filtered HTML option when saving HTML from Word, no matter what application you want to use to open the resulting file.

You can install it on top, or side-by-side in a different folder. They can coexist just fine.

The way you phrased that question, I'd answer "yes" to both. They are stored as individual files inside the epub archive. An epub is just a ZIP archive with specific contents. Word 2007's new DOCX format works in a similar way (it's also a ZIP archive).
