That's generally what lan parties are for and its also good from a competitive perspective, it's why Valve went out of their way to ensure DotA 2 has LAN. Though I don't think the lack of lan will be detrimental to the game, what's really detrimental is the fact I need to go online to play the damn thing single player, but hey the best part of D2 I thought was the multiplayer eitherway.

1. When starting up a bnet 2.0 game, there should be a dropdown menu asking what you want to play and which server you want to play on. Like this:

Single player, LAN, USEast, USWest, East Asia, West Asia, AUS, EUREast, EURWest, so on and so forth.

2. See number 1.
