All cars made since 1975 in America have a catalytic converter.
There are two (minimum) in the exhaust systems on late model cars and light trucks. They are installed before and after the catalytic converter as the gas flows through the system. Thus pre and post "cat" (Catalytic Converter)
"Cat back" does not include the catalytic converter.
Government required emission regulations.
The 'cat' in 'cat-back' refers to a catalytic converter, which is a device required by law in most countries to be included in cars because it reduces pollution. Cat-back systems have their converters located in the rear of the system, and their pipes are of larger diameter than most systems.

Pretty much all cars with manual transmissions have a flywheel. Cars with automatic transmissions have a torque converter attached to a flex plate instead.
There are four. One above the cat/converter and one below each cat/converter. Follow the wires.
If pieces of the broken cat are rattling around in there then yes. If this vehicle is a 1996 or later and the cat is broken the check engine light should be illuminated and the codes should point to a failed cat converter.
