Yes.

No.

<http://localhost:8080/turbine/servlet/Turbine>

The first part (turbine) is the webapp directory. The second part is
/servlet/ to tell Tomcat that you want to execute a servlet. The third part
is the name of the servlet as defined in the WEB-INF/web.xml.

Yes. 

Although, for that library in particular, it is ok to put it into Tomcat/lib
instead of WEB-INF/lib.

You just need to get used to which .jar's are ok on a global scale and which
aren't. Not all .jar files are equal.

Ok, so then get a web based email account and use that. This is getting
stupid. I'm tired of HTML email going to this list. It screws with the
digests and makes them harder to read as well as taking up more disk space
on the server.
