Nope, you don't need to create anything and certainly no soldering takes place. All you need is the cable.
Yep, nice and easy to upgrade your drive.. Simply use a program called Chimp. A tutorial for the program can be found underneath my sig. Do you know what version your Xbox is?

Yes you can indeed my friend. Chimp is a program designed to do just what you want, upgrade a HDD.
You'll know soon enough what version you have when you try to run the program. If you can see everything ok, then you have a v1.0 - v1.5 Xbox. If the screen goes green, then you have a v1.6 Xbox.

No it can be most any App that will burn DVD ISOs like DVDdecryptor.
Yes the Y-splitter you listed will work just fine

xbox hard drive maker, it allows you to throw everything on a disk, format it and build the hard drive from scratch after you have it already softmodded.
