Answer 1

Read up on Trident, Gecko and Webkit - two very popular layout engines.

Answer 2

Dave Hyatt, who used to work on Gecko (used by Firefox and others) at Mozilla and now works on WebKit (used by Safari, Chrome and others) has an old blog post explaining some of the complexities of this process.

He has also written in more depth about the rendering process in a series of five articles; the first one mentions some aspects of DOM parsing, but all five are great reading if you're curious about how a browser actually works.
