Well, it was probably an aesthetic decision on the part of the Java developers, and consider this: The server needs to access some of the applet's attributes, so doesn't it make sense that the applet is public? If the applet was private, nobody would be able to access it.
Applet class should be declared public so that it can be accessed outside when it is run on browser or thro' appletviewer tool. -Shini Saji
so that any one can access it in his program in java.
Yes, there is a difference in the way a class method is defined depending on where it is declared.
A class can either be default or public it can never be declared as private, so the question of abstract class at the file level does not arise. But an inner class can be declared private and abstract as well.

By Embedding it into a HTML page, create a new file with the extension .html (like app.html) insert following code: No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.4.2 support for APPLET!! Adjust the code for your applet file (can't help there i am not a java programmer) or just use : No Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition v 1.4.2 support for APPLET!! but i recommend the first because the applet tag is deprecated and not supported in XHTML

Any Java class that extends java.applet.Applet is an applet. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/applet/Applet.html
An applet is a Java application, this saves files in a .class extension
default it is public type
The public, protected and private keywords only apply to object oriented programming languages. They are used to determine the accessibility of specific class members and their bases. Private members are only accessible to the class and to friends of the class. Protected members are the same as private but are also accessible to derivatives of the class. Public members are accessible to all code. When applied to base classes, the public, protected and private keywords can be used to either maintain or reduce the accessibility of the base class members (but never to increase their accessibility). When declared public, the accessibility of the base class members remains as defined by the base class. When declared protected, the public members become protected members. And when declared private, all members of the base class become private members. As well as defining the overall accessibility of the base class members, the accessibility of individual base class members can also be specified.

There's nothing in Java that says that a method in a class can only return object types that the class inherits from. Your Applet is running in some sort of environment (a context, if you will). The Applet.getAppletContext method returns an AppletContext object which describes this environment.

Yes. Java's Applet class was made specifically to be embedded within a web browser window.
Publicly defined classes eg, "Public class"
