Can you make the HTML input file typeable? Instead of requiring to hit browse?

I can't necessarily speak for every browser in existence, but for every one that I'm aware of you can not without a browser add-on (flash, silverlight, etc.). This is a security feature to prevent a malicious web-site from "stealing" files from your local system with clever scripts.

Not that I know of.
You can drag a file onto/into the input.
But if it was type-able you could technically get any file off their machine without them knowing.

This is a decision made by developers of browsers. Some make the fields manually editable, some only let you use the dialog. (It is worth noting that in Chrome/Mac (for instance), while the field itself isn't editable, you can type in the dialogue box).
You can't change this as a page author.
