To answer your first question: with a normal page request (GET), the server returns some header information containing the page encoding, language and various other details. The page's content (<!DOCTYPE html....) then follows as normal.
HEAD requests are simply requests for a URL that only return the header information. I believe this is normally used to check the status of files, for example seeing if a cached image should be updated. It's also useful for validating that you implemented certain features correctly like gzip or caching.
