Re: /index.htm reload?

Yes any site without a specific webpage specified will load (depending on
the actual server) either index.htm/html or default.htm/html

and yes usually they are cached like any other webpage.

There is a meta tag that can be used to stop the caching of the
page if that is what you wish but I can't remember what it is
at the moment.
