Answer 1

You can export the XSLT List Viewer Web Part using SharePoint Designer. After that you can embed the List View in any desired location within the same site collection. I wrote a little how-to export the xslt List Viewer Webpart a couple of while ago. This can be found here http://www.n8d.at/blog/sharepoint-2010/exporting-xslt-list-view-web-part-using-sharepoint-designer/

You also need to choose yes when you export the web part.

Answer 2

It is suggested that you use "Content Query" Webpart and pull the list items from the top site.

It supports showing list views across different subsites and top site within a single site collection. If your sharepoint designer view is not something complex and is "just" about showing relevant columns based on certain sort order and filter , then use the content query webpart.

Iwould don't care if it works well except that specific case. There probably not-so-well coded validation over EditorPart done by product team.

Answer 4

Using Soap Webservices you can create a dataview webpart in sharepoint designer to display the contents of another subsite.Very good article here: Connect to another library in SharePoint Designer 2010

After you have dataview webpart you can export that into your site web part gallery.

Hope this helps.
