Tire, rims, wheel... help

Hello

i'm in need of huge help...
i have got this bike :

http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...3#.Uf035WQY1EU


2010 Scott Sportster P3
----------
Rims Alex XC-44 disc, 32-hole
Tires 700 x 35c Schwable Smart Sam
----------

on such rim there is written 622-17
does it means that 622(700c) i can MOUNT any tire-tube STARTING from 17mm wide? and then what would be the MAXIMUM ?
the bike came with 700x35c Schwalbe Smart Sam, i am currently changing them with the new Marathon Deluxe and Marathon Supreme (both 700x35c)

if i want to go faster on asphalt i can go between 17 and 35 ?
if i am in the forest, where there is gravel and stuff, i can go wider than 35(actually on) ? (ofcourse i won't exaggerate but for example 37-39-40 ?)
to get more stability in mad terrain ? (and perhaps in winter when i have the tyres with spikes i'd better go larger than 35 ?

please help
thank you in advance
M.
