Answer 1

That loosely typed catch will catch everything "Throwable." That will include Errors, Exceptions and their myriad children. You can easily confirm this with:

try {
  new Throwable("Something Exceptional");
} catch (ex) {
  System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
}

Answer 2

Throwable is a superclass (essentially) of Exception--anything that Exception catches will also be caught by Throwable. In general usage they are the same, you rarely (if ever) see other throwable types.
