Most HDTV's have the capability to play VHS, but depending on your TV capabilities it may or might not fill the screen. Also, the bigger the HDTV the worse the picture will look. You can only stretch 480i so far before it starts to look horrible. On Most standard resolution TV's VHS looks ok because you are viewing the VHS source at such a low resolution, that you can't see all of its defects. When you go to an HDTV you are actually getting a view of that VHS source that is either 2x or 3x higher in resolution, which basically means you are getting a much better look at all of the defects of the 480i VHS source. As a result, 480i VHS source on an HDTV looks worse than it does on a standard television. There ARE some newer DVD/VCR combination units that "upconvert" the VHS signal, but 480i upconverted to 720p or 1080i/1080p will not look as good as a signal that is natively those higher resolutions. As a plus, some TV's also do some signal processing which further cleans up the signal from incoming devices.. So betwen a device upconverting and a TV processing, the signal might not look half as bad is if it were untouched... But it still will not be as clean as a straight nativie 720p/1080i/1080p signal.

Yes, a digital TV will also play a analogue signal so as long as your video player has a scart connection then your TV will play the video tape. (This answer is only for people in Europe.)
