Yes

jython.jar contains the Jython runtime and the parts of the standard library that are implemented in Java.

Yes, these are the parts of the standard library that are implemented in Jython.

Yes, that will work. I usually use one jar for my application's .py files and another one for the Lib .py files. I put both of them on sys.path by setting python.path in the batch file that launches the app.
