You can most certainly only write Apex code applications on the force.com platform, yes. And it really is a discipline in it's own right.

If you have a Java application that you would like to integrate with a force.com project, we have an incredibly powerful tool called "Canvas" which allows you to embed existing applications ON you Salesforce pages, with a suite of tools for integrating/authenticating and sharing data between the two.

You can read up more on Canvas here:

and read the developers guide here:

(basically tl;dr it allows you to stick an iFrame on a force.com page and provides a bunch of Javascript tools to pass data between salesforce and your external app)

Nope. FORCE.COM is a platform on its own. If you want to deploy existing apps consider using paas providers like Heroku.
