You should read the Lucene FAQ
http://www.lucene.com/cgi-bin/faq/faqmanager.cgi ). Most of your questions
(over the past few days) are already answered there.

In http://www.lucene.com/publications.html you will find many answers to
your questions. The papers "An Object-Oriented Architecture for Text
Retrieval" and "Optimizations for Dynamic Inverted Index Maintenance"
will be especially helpful for your understanding of Lucene.

Melissa:
These questions are answered in the Lucene FAQ, which is located at
http://www.lucene.com/cgi-bin/faq/faqmanager.cgi
However, if I correctly understand your fundamental question, my
understanding is that Lucene basically uses the vector model of IR.
