Don't worry, we all have to begin some day. Let me first clear your few doubts about Cordova.

Cordova wraps your HTML/JavaScript app into a native container which can access the device functions of several platforms. These functions are exposed via a unified JavaScript API, allowing you to easily write one set of code to target nearly every phone or tablet on the market today and publish to their app stores.

so in short cordova helps you to access device functionality via javascript.

Ionic is a mobile css framework, which is built on top of angular js and allows support for cordova functionalities.

Now I will give answer's for your all questions:

  1. Yes, if you want to create a mobile app using html and js, you need to use cordova. Since, cordova will wrap these files in the native container of respective mobile os.
  2. You can run the task in background using cordova. There is a plugin for that which you can use Cordova Background Plugin
  3. purpose of cordova is only, to allow device hardware access via javascript
  4. You don't need to code anything to show index.html, cordova will do everything for you while building the app
