Can you go inside buildings? Or is everything outdoors?

Not really, Mostly Yes

What is the driving like? Are there decent car chases? Or are they a weak subgame?

Like GTA, Some races and Stunts, Its ok

Is there any depth to hand-to-hand melee fighting? Or is it just punch, but the goal is to get strong enough that punches do more damage?

No, Yes

Can I throw a bad guy? How far? What if I punch him really hard? Does he go flying?

Yes, Depends on the size of your screen, ?, Yes
Hope that help :P

Submission + - Vista activation cracked by brute force

From TFA: The crack is a glorified guesser, and with the speed of modern PCs and the number of outstanding keys, the 25-digit serials are within range. The biggest problem for MS? If this gets widespread, and I hope it will, people will start activating legit keys that are owned by other people.

There is really no differentiating between a legit copy with a manually typed in wrong key and a hack attempt. Sure MS can throttle this by limiting key attempts to one a minute or so on new software, but the older variants are already burnt to disk. The cat is out of the bag. The crack was first mentioned on the Keznews forums, a step by step How-to can be found HERE
