Is it thought to be suitable for bonsai? What is special about this species?
How is it related to other pines? Does it belong to the genus Pinus? How would
you grow it indoors?

I see several others have responded to your query, Iris.

I can only add that there is a fair bit of info on the site I quoted
http://www.wollemipine.com/ once you "enter" it. In particular, the
"About" tag actually gives you some info under three headings --
unlike most "abouts" which just tell you how good the org is.

The "Photo Gallery" tag has a number of photos taken in the wild and
of plants in pots.

The "How to get one" tag takes you to a form to join the Wollemi Pine
Conservation Club which will keep you abreast of developments and
would probably answer some of your questions if they have some sort of
discussion group running.

If you want to grow one to maturity indoors, you'll need a fairly
large house as they can grow to 40 metres tall with a trunk about 1.2
metres in diameter.

Under the "About/Fast Facts" tag you'll find under the "Best use"
heading the statement:

Feature plant for parks and large gardens, a stunning indoor plant,
and unique gift for special occasions

Cheers, Phred.
