7z is quite popular format and many well known file compression programs (like winzip, winrar etc) can unpack those files without problems. Of course you can use 7-Zip to create/unpack those file - it's free and there are versions for Windows and Linux (very good program imho).

I think you actually mean "One Archive" not "One hak" as they are completely separate things in relation to NWN.
Yes, you could create one archive file. You would have to upload the resulting file to the Vault FTP site, as it would likely be too large for a single upload to your download page. (you are limited to 20-25 meg I think).
As to self extracting... best bet (way to do it) would be to create a set of sub-folders on your computer that looks like your nwn folders but only contains the files you need inside it, then archive those complete with folder structure.
As far as I know, NONE of the archive programs actually create a self-installer, they only create self-extractors. IE, they will store sub-folder structures, and re-create those on extraction but they will not actually tell windows anything about the files, or make registry entries etc.. which is what an installer actually does.
