We're wrestling with a similar issue on a current project. The

Telerik's RadGrid for ASP.NET Ajax:

You can tab through the grid and manually type in data, but I'm not
aware of
All you need is a text area that is big enough to take the data.
I would use Ajax to upload the data to the server, or use Javascript on the
client to validate the data which should be faster.
Your business partners pattern is nice if you have the excel sheet open, as
the user only has to copy
I've done a little work with this .Net control - pretty slick stuff:

You might be able to get close to what they're envisioning with
this.
