An HTTP GET, POST, etc., request from a client (usually a browser).
Note that retrieval of a single web page may result in many separate
requests from the client to load images, CSS files, scripts, etc.

Yes, with restrictions.  If the client maintains a keep-alive request
and you're using the standard connector, a thread will be tied up for
the duration.  If you use the NIO or APR connectors, the thread will be
released back to the pool in the keep-alive situation.  Take a look at
the table at the bottom of this page:

Yes; they're independent mechanisms.
