Ruby-on-Rails is the MVC web development framework for Ruby. It can be combined with different web servers: Apache, Nginx, and possibly others. You can start by getting familiar with what Ruby-on-Rails is, for example, here .

The built-in rails server — webrick is great for learning and development, and for the production version, the heroku, a platform on which it is very easy to deploy your rails application, will help you (by the way, your puma is there). If you are interested in reading about the deployment of rails applications on heroku, then read either on their website or http://railstutorial.ru/ , here you need chapters on git and heroku.
- Not certainly in that way. On the heroku webserver, you can choose, it is, conditionally, part of the application and is indicated in the gefile. Puma is recommended, but there are also Unicorn, Rainbows, Thin ... - D-side
Enough for learning the built-in server. To "be visible from the outside," first of all, get a VPS, this is the easiest and most convenient option. (IMHO, the server is from your home computer, if you are talking about this, not the best option) Then if the server needs php support, then this is, for example, apache + passenger, if not, recommend nginx + puma
