Nearly always it will be on a Windows machine. But there is a product
(Chilisoft) that enables non-Windows systems (and non-IIS servers) to
run ASP.

No. I can map any file extension to any handler. For example, I can make
IIS run the .jsp extension through ASP.dll. Just because a file has a
particular extension does not mean it's actually that type of file (though,
admittedly, in most cases it would be -- since that is a pretty silly thing
to fake).
