An E-node.

Yes.

That's what MarkMail did.  You can also use session affinity at your load balancer.

Let me know if you'd be interested in the MarkMail db-backed session code.

There's no third-party embedded web server; app server functionality is a core feature of MarkLogic.

No, they're transient.
