Yes, older versions of everything are maintained in the repository.
Removing those older versions is in fact rather difficult exactly
because providing access to older versions is an essential design
goal of Subversion.
Unlike CVS, which has file-oriented commits, Subversion does not
limit itself to the file level, and so things are versioned based on
revisions. A revision may contain a change to a single file, or it
may contain changes to many files, or even directories and properties.

Yes, changes can be undone.

There are several ways you can serve a repository from a server,
including an Apache2 module and a standalone server. Many people
recommend that you store the repository on the same machine that's
running the server process, but I believe it can also be stored on a
SAN, NAS or other network drive distant from the server (as long as
you use the FSFS repository backend [which is now the default] and
not the BDB backend).

If you're asking if you can commit something to the repository, and
then change the date that it appears that thing was checked in, then
the answer is that Subversion doesn't allow this by default, but you
can easily change it to allow that if you want. Each revision has a
number of properties, including the author, the date, a log message
and so forth, and you can install a simple "pre-revprop-change hook"
to allow changes to these properties.

If OTOH you're asking if you can schedule something to be committed
at a later time, then that's outside the scope of what Subversion
provides, but you can probably write a script of your own to do that
if you want (though I'm not sure why it would be useful).
