Node.JS and Terminology

Excuse my ignorance, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole Node.js vs Backbone.js thing. I think I'm figuring it out, could somebody verify this or help adjust my understanding?

Node.js is a platform which can serve and render HTTP?

Express.js is a framework for Node.js and handling routes?

Backbone.js is a front-end Javascript library which is not dependent on Node.js at all?

Is it common/acceptable to serve the Backbone.js HTML from Node+Express, or would another platform be better suited?
