If the site-to-site is working, the setup is basically just like two
subnets connected by an IP router (a slow one!). Because of the router,
broadcasts don't work. So you need DNS or WINS to get name resolution
working. Once you get WINS running across the link, browsing should also
work.
Clients who are not domain members can share files as long as their
credentials are valid on the domain. Remote access and VPN dialup clients do
it all the time.
