#1 I finger it as Indonesia and China.

Indonesia has prior history of web attacks: against Malaysia and against the Corby websites.

It has a well-trained computer warfare military wing - it just doesn't advertise it.

China would be my next guess.

#2 This is interesting especially in light of computer failures on Wall Street recently.

#4 DoD has the capability to 'counter-attack', but the lawyers [you know like the ones that had to be asked 'mother may I' when the CIA had a potential Predator shot shot at him and were told 'wait' during the early stages of the Afghan campaign] say 'no'. We might harm some poor third party who's too damn lazy to monitor their servers for routing highjackers.
