May I suggest the book DNS and Bind 5th edition.

Availible from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/DNS-BIND-5th-Cricket-Liu/dp/0596100574/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293629633&sr=8-1

All of these things can be done.  Do some reading!

Yes you setup forwarding only for the microsoft domain name. 

And yes you can setup BIND to not answer questions from the Internet 
about your Microsoft domain, but in my opinion that is not necessary.  
You do want to disable recursive queries from the Internet and there are 
no pointers out on the Internet pointing your microsoft domain to you 
BIND server, so noone outside your internal network will know about the 
microsoft domain.

The book has examples plus syntax and examples that will cover the rest 
of your questions.
