Typically you can find prepaid simcards for 10 euro with 5euro of credit, both Wind and Vodafone, but sometimes you find offers for 5euro with 5euro of credit.
Also TIM works fine but costs more.
Yes you can just walk in and buy one. You have to show an ID document (e.g. passport) for registration.
Nokia world-phones are expensive, I know only the N80 which is quad-band.
Consider that for the same price of 1week rental from Cellularabroad, you can buy a basic dualband gsm900/1800 phone (unlocked).
