Yep - what video format? What player? Windows movie maker will take a snapshot of a video (running or paused where you want it) and you can save it off as various file formats.

Sure is mate - just google it and download from Microsoft for free - decent enough editor and can definitely do what you want - it's what I use for the videos an photos I've put up.

If you have trouble playing stuff - VLC player is what I've found best - it's free to download, open-source software and plays pretty much anything you feed into it. It also has a Snapshot function that saves a frame as an image file.

Oh, it makes them .png files - but you can easily convert those to anything you want with PhotoStudio for example, quite good if you're not doing complex editing. Also a free download I think. Edit away and let us know if you still have problems. There are plenty of digital media converters out there - free and licensed, but I'd advise against those that portend to do everything at once.
