Answer 1

Finally and catch blocks are quite different:

Within the catch block you can respond to the thrown exception. This block is executed only if there is an unhandled exception and the type matches the one or is subclass of the one specified in the catch block's parameter. Finally will be always executed after try and catch blocks whether there is an exception raised or not.
