It depends on the connection equipment you get from your provider. DSL usually
is 10 but any nic that supports 10 will work. I have a 10/100 nic on my DSL.

The router they supply may be 10/100 so that the internal LAN may use 100 while
the internet side may use 10.

Sounds correct to me.

Usually you do not need to run the windows setup program. Most routers can be
setup with a browser, you need to look at the documentation and find what the
IP address is used by the router.

It may.

Open the 'tcpip configuration (local)' settings notebook and setup it up for
your machine.
