Yes...any Mac with an Intel CPU can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.

Yes - you can upgrade - painlessly. Either Leopard or Snow Leopard will work fine.
No - you will not lose the programs.

1GB RAM - think about going to 2GB, maybe 4GB if you have the cash.

120GB / 5400 RPM HD - That's useable, but I'd be thinking about a 500GB / 7200RPM replacement.
