Yes it certainly is.

You haven't searched quite hard, have you?
4 clicks away from http://www.sophos.com, you reach:
http://www.sophos.com/products/sav/eval/
Fill in the form, check the appropriate kind of Linux (should be
'Linux on Intel using libc6 (glibc 2.2)' for you).  You'll  get  to  the  download
page.

Of course not. This is an evaluation version. If you use it  you  have
to buy it.

It's my understanding that Sophos now has  an  'engine  only'  license
which  is  precisely  what you want to use behind Sophie.
The details are there: http://www.sophos.com/products/savi/

No idea. We've bought it from a local reseller.

Yo do. I was assuming that you already had the proper version.

Not that I know.
Why don't you find a Sophos reseller in your contry and ask them?
Or use the proper link in
http://www.sophos.com/companyinfo/contacting/
and just ask them?
