Short answers: Servlets are as thread safe as you make
them (many simultaneous request threads may be running
in the service() method, even multiple requests from the
same user, you have to handle that), and: you don't need
cookies.
Longer answers:
How much background do you have with Java specifically and
Web development in general? If you're comfortable with the
basics, and just want to know how servlets do things, then
by far the easiest way to answer your questions is to
download and read the spec:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
It has tons of explanatory text, and specifically
addresses threading issues and the mechanics of session
management.
If you're a little less comfortable, then check out the
tutorials and other information at:
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/technical.html
If you're really wandering in the wilderness, then there
are some good servlets books out there, do a quick
servlet-interest archive search on "books" and you'll get
a ton of references...
