Openlayers (and other WMS/WFS webmapping clients) is what creates the
map. Geoserver delivers map data not maps. You upload the html file with
the embedded OL javascript code to a publicly accessible web server.

Yes, and that servlet must be accessible to the webserver where the html
file is loaded. They are often/usually? one and the same server.

Yes.
