Sorry, at this point its hard for me to say exactly what is going on. I'd say if you can't see any processes with the name you assigned in the config directive, then it seems like there probably aren't daemon processes. This is what happened to me earlier. I had to tweak and mess with the daemon process settings to get it to work. If I remember my situation correctly, the process group wasn't setup right, but yours looks ok to me.
As for how is it running at all? If it isn't in daemon mode, then it is running in embedded mode. There is a python interpreter in every httpd process, which would take a lot of ram if you spawned a bunch of httpd worker processes.
