Is it possible to do an express checkout payment in PayPal without an account?
I remember that I saw it somewhere, but I don't remember where. Once a time in PayPal there was a link under "Create a PayPal account".

Without a PayPal account, you will only be allowed to use the following payment options: debit card and credit card. Keep in mind, however, that you will be prompted to create an account. Although, if you wish to proceed without one, then simply enter your card details.
PayPal comparison: ExpressPayPal Express is very similar to PayPal Standard with one major difference: the checkout flow. PayPal Express avoids the IPN issues that arise with PayPal Standard. Customers will be directed to PayPal from your site, but they don't complete checkout at PayPal.
Yes, that's certainly possible.
Simply set SOLUTIONTYPE parameter to Sole in your initial SetExpressCheckout API call (SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole). Optionally you can also specify LANDINGPAGE=Billing for the billing page to be forced.
Note: In order for
SOLUTIONTYPE=Soleto work, you must have 'PayPal Account Optional' set to 'On' with the 'Website Preferences' section of your PayPal account.
Profile > My selling tools (or: My selling preferences) > Website Preferences > Update > PayPal Account Optional: On.
EDIT:
As mentioned in one of the comments, it's possible this may only work if you add the LOCALECODE=us parameter too.
