I faced the same problem with FF, then I found that it was specific to the FF version I am using. I installed and ran the tests on FF 11, and I was able to successfully runt he tests. Try changing the version of FF that you are using.

You can't interact with OS level Windows directly. You can go through the path given by niharika_neo or else you can use Auto IT tool for handling the OS level windows. The best option is to use Auto IT tool.

No you cant do it with WebDriver as niharika_neo answer but you can do next:

string filepath = "my local path";
_driver.FindElement(By.Id("attachments")).SendKeys(filepath);
_driver.FindElement(By.Id("attachments")).SendKeys(Keys.Return);

Webdriver doesnt interact with os level dialogs and that's the reason it doesnt continue to the next line. Here's something to help you : http://code.google.com/p/selenium/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Q:_Does_WebDriver_support_file_uploads?
