Sorry, never heard of either of those...

Listen state means there's a service listening on your box, not an
outbound connection.

0.0.0.0 is usually used to denote that the socket is listening on all
local interfaces (loopback, any NICs...) rather than a specific address.

Depends on how it's written.

Someone with more Win* experience will have to answer the "How do I
tell what's listening?" question, in the *nix world we have lsof which
does that really nicely for all open sockets/handles.

I believe that typically the MS RPC stuff opens a socket above 1024 on
Win* boxes.
