svn info and svnlook - quick questions

Hi All

We're new to subversion.

We like to make sure we get the latest svn revision number from the
svn repository on the remote server.
We are confused as to which command to use to find our latest revision number.
Questions
1-
Which is correct -
svn info url or
svnlook youngest

2-
We thought svnlook is only available for the remote svn server but it
seems we can execute it.
We thought svnlook is a svn server command and not a svn client
command - are we correct ?

3-
How do we know if the host we're running on is an svn server and not a
svn client ?
How do we know from the installation perspective that we have a local
svn server ?

4-
Is a working copy trunk after checking out from a remote server trunk
be considered a repository ?
We ask because we're not sure when notes on the internet that says
repository, do they mean on the server or the local copy.

Thanks for helping to clarify.
Sincerely
