Rei is on a distinguished road
It's been a long time since the last time I've watched Lain, so don't worry if some of my answers are not very accurate.

1- Lain is a software created by Tachibana labs, where Masami Eiri works. But the fact is that, at least from what I remember, it's not Eiri to create Lain (as he says to her) but Tachibana, to fight Eiri's power over the wired.
2- Probably yes.
3- Eiri is a "self-proclaimed" God. He's the first to "abandon his flesh" because he thinks in the wired he doesn't need a body. He also thinks that real life is a mere hologram of the existance in the wired. He's called "God" mainly because he starts recruiting other people who commit "suicide" (like Chisa-chan and other characters of the series) in order to exist only in the wired. He's capable of great power of persuasion and he tries to convince Lain as well more than once, knowing her great abilities (as said above, because she's not a human being, but a software).
4- Yasuo works together with Eiri at Tachibana labs.
5- I don't know, but from what you can see she's probalby not the daughter of Miho and Yasuo, mainly because they don't seem to be husband and wife.
6- Yeah, the whole series is filled with hidden messages regarding computers (mainly Macs). The creators of this series are probably very well informed about computer matters.
