Since at that point you're 100% in Tomcat land, you'll want to read the
Tomcat docs. One of the reasons I love Tomcat is because it has fantastic
documentation compared to some of the other servlet containers.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/index.html

Yes.

Depending on how you have things configured, yes. If you're using Jordan's
installer I believe he has OpenBD set up as common classes in Tomcat, so all
your contexts will process CFML code from the same OpenBD instance.
