The ramdisk doesn't contain the kernel; the two are downloaded separately.
Yes, the ramdisk is the boot/initial root device.

That's right. Both the kernel and the ramdisk image are downloaded to
particular addresses in RAM, and then control just passes to the kernel. It
uncompresses itself, locates the RAM disk image and away you go.
