Yes.

Yes, if you have lots of experience with ASP.NET / AJAX / JavaScript /
jQuery etc...

Thanks, I'll put those on the list of things to learn. When the time
comes to do it, I'll put in the time necessary to gain "lots of
experience".

My impression from your answer is that simple ASP.NET won't do it. I
would need client side scripts querying the server for new data and
then updating controls on the page without a total refresh.

Correct.

Several ways. I'd (almost) certainly use the JavaScript setTimeout() method
to make an AJAX call to a server-side method at regular intervals...

Thanks again. You have pointed me in a good direction. That gives me
some indication of how much time it will take to learn to develop a
proper application. In the meantime, my C# .NET client using WCF
works well so the users will just have to wait (and pay) for the
change appropriately.

It may also be possible to keep the C++ as C++. Just build a managed
c++ dll that can be called by the web app.
