You can use HTTrack to make a new archiving of the desired web pages every
day. Just name the archiving using the current date (and perhaps even time):
e.g. 071129_httrack_com_0915 for an archiving of httrack.com today at 9.15. 

This can be automated via scripts (e.g. using MS-DOS batch scripts or
Microsoft PowerShell).

Yes, the archived files are saved in so that they are navigatable offline
using your standard web browser.

Yes, the archived files are by default interpreted so that the hyperlinks
refer to the local (archived) copy of the web pages. In other words,  you can
copy them to any drive, and the browsing experience will be the same. The
archives are portable.

If you have the links, yes. You can tell HTTrack to download the web pages
they refer to. Use filters to limit the archiving to just the desired pages.

I do think that .mht is a possibility if you use the -%M command line
parameter.
