Can I have both a public (non-sharepoint) and secure sharepoint site?
Yes. If you want a public facing (non-sharepoint) web site, create a file called 'default.htm' via frontpage.  This will be open to everyone.  Then place all other 'public files' in a folder called "home".  These files can be asp, html, and asp.net files.
