If your application is browsed by a browser, JMeter can simulate it.  You 
need to know the HTTP requests that your browser generates, and yes, that's 
mostly URL's and form parameters.  JMeter doesn't test javascript currently, 
though.

Images, CSS stylesheets, etc aren't automatically located and downloaded by 
JMeter.  I believe there is someone working on it (well, maybe that's you - I 
don't keep track of all the names too well!).  However, for most 
applications, the performance of image downloading would not be the crucial 
factor.  In any case, I don't think JMeter is an ideal tool for test 
bandwidth.  It is better for testing a highly dynamic and CPU intensive web 
application.

Yes, but it's currently only in CVS code, and it's undocumented.  I will try 
to change that shortly, and I'll notify the lists.
