1. Mplayer itself doesn't have this feature. Some GUI interfaces can do 
it though (check out http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php)

2. This was discussed on the mailing list a while ago. It is not 
implemented, but AFAIR can be added through some plugin. See here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/39028/focus=39031

3. in your input.conf: <KEY> speed_set <float>
So for example 's speed_set 1.2'
you can put a '+' in front of the number, then speed will be increased 
by this number. a '-' decreases.

4. also possible: in your input.conf, the mouse wheel is defined as 
MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN4 (I think).

On a general note regarding key-function mappings: Type 'mplayer -input 
keylist' and you will get a list of all available keys.
Type 'mplayer -input cmdlist' and Mplayer tells you what commands are 
available and their respective values.
Put the stuff you want in your input.conf and you're done :D

A sample input.conf is in the main/etc dir of the CVS source.
