Re:
<< Browser--> Server <--> MywebApp -->Browser, right? >>

Yes - more or less. The big point to understand is that ASP.NET Web
applications do not run inside of browsers. They run on Web servers...

Browser sends a request to the server (for myPage.aspx)
IIS is running on the Web server (it IS the web server) and it receives the
request.
IIS sees that the request is for an .aspx file - and so hands off the
request to ASP.NET for further processing.
ASP.NET then processes the request (any code-behind logic, etc).
ASP.NET ultimately returns plain old HTML back to the browser.

At the end of the day, all the browser is doing is (1) sending HTTP requests
to the server, and (2) receiving HTML. That's basically it. IF there is any
client-side programming going on, it will usually be client-side JavaScript.
Even when it runs, there is no live/ongoing connection with the Web server
and/or ASP.NET Web application.

This link explains it better than I:

Now, about your SQL Server problems.... sorry , I don't know. You might want
to post a new question to specifically address that.
