CCDs are inherintly sensitive to some of the IR band. That's actually a
bad thing for usual visual band usage. So a filter is added to _block_
IR from reaching the CCD layer. It's often integrated with the CCD. So
this won't accomplish what you want.
For many high end cameras, mostly digital SLRs, there are companies that
will modify the camera to pick up IR. They can replace the filter with
one that only partially blocks IR, or lets it all in. And they can even
block the visual band (black filter), if desired. But I don't know if
anyone does this with webcams.

Not really. You have to be rather low in voltage to avoid too much
visual, and the power is way reduced that way.

A "black" IR-pass-only filter would be used. They are, however, expensive.

Almost certainly it will be sensitive only in the visual band.

That's the way to go. Frys.com has an assortment of surveilance
cameras with built in IR arrays.
As far as the dim bulb goes, you'll find that cameras and lenses
sensitive to long wave IR are expensive. The IR LEDs are shorter wavelength.
On a related note. Camera conversion to IR sensitive are getting
popular. They remove the IR filter and do some mumbo jumbo with the
internals. They don't tend to be very sensitive, but give all the cool
IR effects such as dark skies and bright foliage.
