My question is How are documents stored in SharePoint? If I have a
document "business.doc" located on a network share, and I add it to a
document work space on my SharePoint server, then is the whole document and
any an future versions of it stored on the SharePoint server within the SQL
database. So that the doucment is now stored in two locations, using even
more disk space on my network than if I hadn't loaded it into SharePoint?

I could use some clarification here.

Nope you don't need clarification. You actually understand very well how it
works. I guess the whole point is you want to remove it from network share
and only have it SharePoint. If not you will have redundant data. Now if
you want to use the page viewer web part you can point it to your network
folder. Then you are just presenting the data that is on the network in
SharePoint. Does that help?

Hi,

If you want to leave the document on your network share, you can also let
SharePoint index the network share, so you can make use of the SharePoint
search functionality.

Kind regards,
