Answer 3

As far as I can see you are actually using the css loader ( "style", "css", "sass", "resolve-url" ) (the "css" part is the "css-loader")

In your sass file(s) you should link to the images using a relative path from the sass file you are editing.

styles
 - somefile.scss
 - another.scss
images
 - someImage.jpg

in somefile.scss, you should link to your image like this:

background-image: url("../images/someImage.jpg);

Do note, that if you want webpack to move those images to your distribution folder (if you are using a system like this) that you will need something like file-loader to copy those files over.
