fieldset & legend

Hey, i have a couple of questions:

1) is the

fieldset

fieldset

tag simply just used for grouping inputs and labels within a form or is there more to it?
2) is the

legend

legend

tag used to simply label the fieldset, or is it used for a question like in the example image?
3) what makes the

legend

legend

tag sit on top of the

fieldset

fieldset

border (see image). Is this just built in functionality since there isn't anything in the user agent style sheet that could place it there, such as

position: absolute

position: absolute

? Is there a way to move it?

Thank you in advance.
