Depends on your setup but in a normal everyday household it doesn't matter since you usually have NAT and would've to port forward ports to the PC or set it as exposed host.

I wouldn't bother with a third party setup on the machine itself. If it falls back depends on the software but I highly doubt it.

I was thinking about having a third party firewall for my mother, but since she won't really be monitoring it, if the firewall fails, does the Windows one ever kick in by default? If not, is there a way to automatically have it kick in if the third party firewall stops working?
