Answer 2

You would still need an installer, but you can look into Adobe Air. You can build apps that even leverage AS3 libraries as well as make them entirely with HTML5/CSS3 and your flavor of Javascript. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

You can use node-webkit.

It uses webkit to render the webpage and execute the Javascript, and you will have access to all the Node.js javascript API (reading/writing files, …)

Answer 4

There is certainly some way to do this with Qt / QtWebkit / QWebview. But, it is certainly involved.

There is also a Gtk Webkit.
