Open steam, go to my games.

bottom left of the window

"Add a non-steam Game"

Follow the prompts and find multwinina, then it will be added to the list.

What do you mean by this? If you want steam community with Shift-Tab, that works with retail. Achivements are steam-version only though.

Playing multiplayer in steam is IDENTICLE to playing multiplayer with the retail version. There is no reason starting the retail game from the steam browser would make mulltiplayer cease to function.

Well, if you do what Donat said you could launch it via/from Steam, but chances are it would only be creating a shortcut and allow you to use the community features but not allow you to download it via Steam to other machines. Although, for better Steam support you're best asking in the Steam forums
