You need to have a wireless card in the mac mini to use airport express :)

It should work but your mini has to be hard wired into the router because you don't have a wireless card in the mini

Yes it will work on your IBM. Also when you set up your airport express you should at least put some kind of security on it like encryption or mac filtering
