..if the other 2 PC's are up and running and I plug the notebook into one
of the sockets and turn it on, will the network recognise the notbook and
share the files/connections without having to re-boot the others?
Yes, if it is configured properly.
Does plugging any pc into a running network cause any problems such as
blowing up interfaces etc?
No
