Correct.

You can find all the details at http://handle.net/
Note that it's a paid service, about 50 USD per prefix per year.

There were also suggestions to rework the current system of persistent
identifiers in DSpace, to support more than just handle.net (e.g. DOI,
purl), but this surely won't be in DSpace 3.0, maybe later.

Oh, yes, I could have mentioned that. It just doesn't have anything to
do with handles.

You can define the base URL for each webapp (xmlui, jspui, oai, sword,
...) in Tomcat configuration in its "Context". You can see an example
if you look at Step 8 here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Installation#Installation-InstallationSteps

What you need to do is to set the "path" attribute to the URL you
want, in this case the URL root:
<Context path="/" docBase="[dspace]/webapps/jspui" debug="0"
    reloadable="true" cachingAllowed="false"
    allowLinking="true"/>

Please, note that there are several ways to configure webapps in Tomcat.
1) using Contexts in server.xml
2) using Contexts in so called "context fragments", i.e. a separate
.xml file for each context
3) not using Contexts, but pointing Tomcat to a directory with .war
files (here you'd have to rename your "jspui" webapp directory to
"ROOT")
