You don't need or want a router in building B since you already have a
router in the building A -- just put switches or hubs behind the 7100AP,
and computers in building B will be configured by the router in building
A and become part of the same network.

When a 2nd router is put behind a first router you wind up with "double
NAT" which can usually be made to work, but which will interfere with
things like VPN and SSL.

With consumer-grade gear you're going to essentially make them all part
of the same network. With business grade gear you could isolate them in
separate network segments/secutity zones.

It's actually a wired-to-wireless bridge.

Or any other Ethernet device.

Yep.

Yep, although you don't really want to do that, as explained above.

See above.
