Skype and iChat don't talk to each other. In order to chat, if one party is using iChat, the other party can use AIM. Or if one party is using Skype, then the other party can install Skype as well.

How do you do video link Mac to PC?
You can have video chats cross-platform if you use software like Skype on both computers or AIM on the PC and iChat on the Mac.
Can you connect to someone who is using ichat if you do not have an apple computer?
There is no Windows version of iChat yet but if the Windows user is using an AIM account then you can connect to the Mac iChat user if they are logged into iChat via an AIM account. Otherwise iChat will not work. You can also connect both users via a free online video/chat application similar to Skype, it's a very useful free video/chat application that cross's both Windows and Macs well.

If both parties are using a Mac then they can use iChat to make video calls. An alternative is the Skype phone networking software that also has a video call funcation. (See links below)

Yes. With the webcam you can even do video conferences on either of the two. If you mean both at the same time I'm sure it would work...it just seems weird. :)

What is the difference between ichat and webcam?
iChat is the software that allows you to communicate with another iChat user, either by text, audio, video or any combination. A webcam is a camera that can be used to send images/video via an Internet connection. The iChat software uses a webcam when you are communicating via video to send your image to the recipient. Modern Macs have the iSight webcam built in.
