I have an Intranet up and running, but I also want to make this resource available to staff outside the office, hence to create an extranet using the exact same files as the intranet.

How, in as plain english as possible, could I achieve this?
 
Get an encryption certificate for the IIS Server.
Setup a second web site on the server for the encrypted site that the public can hit. Setup authentication on the site. Require encryption, change it from listening on port 80 to some other port to not interfer with the intranet site. Setup the firewall to allow traffic to the encrypted site.

Tell people from the outside to connect to
Or make them VPN in to the company network to view the intranet.
