Answer 1

It is able to do that on LAN.
1. Remember to share the folder you use as repository
2. On pc B, select SVN checkout..., click the browse button, locate to that shared folder, like this: And it's done.

Answer 2

Have you installed TortoiseSVN or a Subversion server? For the svn client TortoiseSVN you need a server. In your case I would recommend to use a svn server with a graphical user interface for Windows: http://www.visualsvn.com/server/

A valid URL may look like this svn://192.168.1.56/repository. The repository has to be created on the server.
