    Yes. You'll have to download them again on PC but there will be no problems at all in that regard. In many cases, if not all, your save games transfer over too as you download from the steam cloud.

    Not really going to happen as the files would be modified for the different OS.

    It partially works. There's a lot of common files that exist in games between the 2 OS's, Steam discover would then just download the necessary Mac files.
