>1. How can I know if another site has linked to mine
>(and, preferably, who it is)?
Your referrer logs, if you can access them, should tell you. You can also
setup a counter that'll record it for you, using sitemeter or some similar
service.
Many search engines will also tell you. For example, if Google has indexed
a page with a link to yours (assuming yours is indexed as well), you merely
have to search for:
link:http://www.example.com/
Or whatever your page happens to be.
>2. Can search engine robots access pages which require

Depends on how you've set the password-protection up. Probably not.
