You use this connector to relay requests to a certain URL pattern to
Tomcat, so you can have part of your website as static HTML served by
apache and part of it hosted by Tomcat, which could be running your
server-side Java.
Perhaps you have a jsp contact form on your static site that needs to
capture user signups; well you'd have /signups to be your contact form
and the Tomcat server would be hosting that page.
Other advantages are related to functionality in apache but not in
Tomcat, so you often see people asking about mod_rewrite in Tomcat, and
the textbook response is to have apache sitting in front of Tomcat to
use mod_rewrite, seems overkill for me but there are other reasons too.
As for the last point, everything goes through apache and only content
that matches a URL is forwarded to Tomcat. You'll have a log file
configured mod_jk.log.
