Not sure what "sharing" or "worksheet" means.
However, Open Office can save documents in any number of file formats such as the popular MS Office legacy formats for Word, Excel or PowerPoint. You can even exchange documents with Google Office (see related links for a video how to).
It can be called a worksheet. There is a range of actual spreadsheet programs, so people often refer to them directly, like Excel or Quattro or Works or Open Office or Lotus 123, instead of using the term spreadsheet.
A couple of options are Microsoft Excel or Open Office Calc (open-source free software).

There ain't many disadvantages.The application takes a while to start up.There is no program comparable to Access in Open Office.
Using an open office layout in businesses takes away the isolation of individual offices - maintaining a sense of 'belonging'.
You can open a worksheet in excel by following methods:Open the file from File menu.Open the file by double clicking on the file.
If you mean can you write something using Microsoft Works word-processor - and open it using OpenOffice - yes you can ! OpenOffice will happily open .wks files.
Open Office uses far less resources (disk space, memory etc) than Microsoft - so, if you're using a netbook - you'd be better off with Open Office.
An active worksheet is a spreadsheet that is visible in a workbook. When you open a new workbook, the first sheet you see is the active worksheet.
You mean run them at the same time? Sure, why not. I haven't used either in a while, but you can open files created in either suite with the other one, but you usually have to save the MS Office file using an older file format that Open Office can understand. I've done it before flawlessly. The only thing I've noticed is that the formatting might look slightly different in Open Office, but goes back to normal in MS Office. By now, the latest MS Office should be backwards compatible with Open Office, but read the documentation. Better yet, when you save a file in MS Office, save it as you would a normal file. Then save-as and choose the older file format, e.g. MS Office 2007. Open both up in Open Office, and see if you get a prompt. If they both open up fine, you're good to go. I don't think there are really any problems with Open Office files opening in MS Office. The open-source community is really good at making sure Open Office files can be read using MS.
You will see a blank worksheet entitled Book1 when you open Excel. Depending on the version, you will see other things such as a ribbon or menus.
