More or less, since you're relying on the browser to be forgiving for the
erroneous <html>, <head> <body> and other tags. In pratice browsers are
(too) forgiving for these kind of markup mixups.
If you want to do it cleaner, you would have to remove this junk (e.g. by a
preprocessing step, or on the fly).

It's a resource (something that responds to GET (or POST, or ...) requests)
that's not tied to a single session, but has a fixed URL. In other words,
it's more similar to the web API of PHP, Python, etc...
Within the context of a Wt application, they are typically used only for
web services that complement your web UI.
They offer a bit more flexibility as plain files served from the docroot as
they can still transform the response in some more intelligent way (if
necessary).
