Procedural controller just use the information of radar monitor but can't be the positive control to handle the aircraft separation
No. They don't have a radar repeater. Strictly visual.
The air traffic controller used radar to track the incoming airplanes.
FAA Instrument Test Answer: "Your aircraft has been identified on the radar display and radar flight following will be provided until radar identification is terminated."
B. Radar controller
Coherent radar is a radar system that maintains a constant phase relationship between the transmitted and received radar signals. This allows for accurate measurements of the target's range, velocity, and direction. Coherent radar systems are widely used in weather monitoring, air traffic control, and military applications.
England developed the first radar scope to help defend against the German air attacks in the 2nd world war.

Yes, but not as well as we wish they would work! Don't depend 100% on a radar detector. There are a number of related questions and answers on WikiAnswers on radar and speed control. A link is provided.
Radar waves are used for various purposes such as tracking the movement of objects (like aircraft and ships), detecting weather patterns, monitoring speed and distance, mapping terrain, and aiding in navigation for ships and aircraft. Radar is also used in military applications for surveillance and targeting.

Cobra radar detectors are devices used to detect if the police are monitoring your car or checking your speed limit using a radar gun. This is used by motorist so they can fix their speed before getting pulled over.
At a large airport that handles commercial aircraft, the first controller that the pilot contacts is the ground controller. That controller is stationed in the control tower and directs the movement of the aircraft from the gate to the end of the runway. The pilot then contacts the local controller who directs traffic on the runways and in the local vicinity of the airport. The local controller is also in the control tower and clears the aircraft for takeoff. After the aircraft is airborne, the pilot contacts the departure controller who locates the aircraft on RADAR and directs the aircraft out of the terminal area. At that point, the pilot contacts the Air Route Traffic Control Center. Center then locates the aircraft on RADAR and directs it to the terminal area of the airport at which the aircraft will land. Center "hands off" the aircraft to the approach controller who locates the aircraft on RADAR and guides it to the final approach course of the runway that will be used for the landing. When the aircraft is on final approach, the approach controller will hand the aircraft off to the local controller who clears the aircraft to land. When the aircraft has landed and has taxied clear of the runway, the pilot contacts the ground controller who directs the aircraft to the gate.
