Yes, you can deploy it on any server, and you can use it on standalone applications and even on mobile applications. It is in no way restricted to web deployment. It is not even restricted to java, there is Spring.NET and even a Python version. However, java and web servers are a common if not the most common use for it.

Currently recommended web server by VMWare/Pivotal (current owner of Spring) is VFabric tcServer, which is a Tomcat fork containing some extra tools and functionality. But server in itself does not matter, Spring is container agnostic.

There is no preferred EE server. VFabric tcServer is a servlet container, not an EE server. It contains "enterprise capabilities" instead, but that's not the same thing. As said however, you can use whichever EE server you want.

Yes you can. And no - there isn´t. Errata: you can take a look at the SpringSource dm Server. Be aware that spring is not a java EE implementation. Read this post here.
