yes

In order to do the equivalent of svn checkout, I do :

or, if you'l like to work like svn then you can:
bzr checkout bzr+http://server/bzr/my_folder

bzr commit
If you use a checkout, it will push it to the mainline automatically.

It didn't create the working tree on the server. All the info is in .bzr
If you really want a workingtree you can do
bzr ceckout   (on the server)
The workingtree will get out of date unless you use the push and update
plugin on all the clients.

(I recommend workingtree-less on the main server though)

if you have a checkout, use update.
if you have a branch use pull

there is a bookmark plugin
