1. You do not need NAT because the router is already providing it. If
there is only one NIC in the server, select Custom when you run the RRAS
configuration wizard to set up VPN. If there are 2 NICs in the sever - eg.
router>>server>>switch>>clients; then you need to enable routing and the
router will need a static route to the client's subnet. Or, you could use
NAT, but sometimes a double NAT arrangement does not work well or at all.
2. For the FTP site simply map TCP port 21 on the router to the IP address
of the server.
3. You do not need DNS on the server unless it is a domain controller.
The easiest topology is simply to connect everything to the router.
However, if you are studying for an exam, you would probably want to
experiment with different configurations anyway.
