See: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/03bio/logs/summary/media/tara_sampling_600.jpg

The diver is wearing the suit, the tank is strapped to her back.

Yes, it is a synonym for an aqualung. My understanding is that scuba is short for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Yes, more or less. Aqualung is a trade name, and would apply to the hoses and regulators. The tanks could be made by almost anyone.
