I have used a NAS in the past on my home LAN and it worked well for what I used it for.
Yes you will be able to access all the files on that NAS from any PC on your LAN, as long as you give permissions to all the PC to access them and depending on what OS the NAS is using.
As to accessing them from the internet that depend on how you set the NAS up and how you set your DSL/Cable router up and if you have a static WAN IP from your internet provider.
Just connecting the NAS to your LAN does not make it accessable from the internet. There are other steps you have to take to let connection into your LAN from the internet.
