I answered many of your questions already and you'll have to try it out to see if it accomplishes what you need. HTTPS is a standard that works the same for any web application. The vfp mtdll in AVFP will not crash the entire web site, especially if it's running in Pooled or Isolated mode which is the default. You'll need to 'Unload' the application to update it which will not affect the web site or other web apps. Refer to the demo web site and AVFP documentation for the low-down on other features. To understand multi-threading, refer to the MS documentation...
