1. Very wrong on all counts. Unless your network cabling is very old it is
more likely Cat5 or Cat5e equipment. The 10/100 refers to being capable of
either 10mbps or 100mbps speed. Ethernet - well, read the definition here
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet). Whether TCP/IP or any other
network protocol is used is immaterial to the speed of the network.
2. In general most home or SOHO routers include a switch with several
ports, so yes if you have one of them a switch or hub would not be necessary
unless you needed more ports for connections.

I would like to ask some people some basic stuff about networks .
I have winxp 2.0ghz and another similar oc with a wireless connection off
a
router.
q)1 pc ha sa UTP cable and I believe it is ethernet cat3 10/100 baseT. Now
the cat3 is the type of cable, the ethernet is the protocol it uses to
send
packets of information, and 10/100baseT is the cable capability which is a
max of 10mbs on the net to 100mbs on a non tcp/ip Lan. Correct me if I am
wrong with my information?
q) routers thesedays have made switches and hubs redundant for a Lan?
