Answer 1

You can enable alerts which will send an email to the users if item is added or editted.

If however you want a popup sort of thing in a custom web part. You can possibly do the following:

1. Write code in the visual web part to check last modified date (If it is greater than the time the code was last run)

2. Refresh every 1 min or 5 mins the webpart by adding the following code in the master page:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300" />

This refreshes the page every 3 seconds.

Varun's approach makes sense... but one thing I would recommend is to use a ECMA script code to get the data and create pop up.. in that case the whole page won''t be refreshed and all the calls will be made async... 

Just a thought....
