Apache Tomcat

I am trying to understand the Architecture of the Apache-Tomat servers and how they interact with JSP/Servlets. I'm trying to put all the pieces together, and hoping someone can help me make sense of this. Here are my questions:

1. Is Tomcat independent of Apache(I believe Apache is an HTTP server and Tomcat is an application server)?
2. Does Tomcat ship with an HTTP server? More specifically, if I just download Tomcat, can I set up that app server without explicitly running it on top of an HTTP server like WebSphere?
3. As far as I can see, you can download/run Apache, Tomcat, and Apache-Tomcat. What is the difference between these, if any?
4. Does Apache handle JSP/Servlets, or just Tomcat?

If anyone knows of any good documentation online, please share.

Thanks!
