Most distros already come with the apache sources, so you probably
wouldn't need to do this. Then again, it would guarantee that you get the
latest version.

That's cause you have to provide the indication as well in your rc.local
(SuSE?)

step 2 isn't really necessary. /etc/HOSTNAME is created from

Nope, just http://your_ip/
First check that your apache is configured properly for remote access.
You have to check access.conf to make sure that anyone can see your html
files from /home/httpd/html down. Also make sure that no one can see /
and down, otherwise I could use a url like:
http://your_ip/../../../etc/passwd
and get to your password

Is that domain registered at InterNIC? :) I don't think so. So
basically, your domain name and hostname have no relevance outside your
machine. If someone telnets in, or dials in, then he can use the hostname
(as long as he's on your machine). Otherwise, its of no use.
