Pretty much so. The Semantic Web is just a set of resources, linked up
using 3-ary relationships (triples), and exchangedusing an RDF
serialization format. Processors can do absolutely anything that they want
with the data, but because the resources are decentralized, it means that
interoperability is enhanced.

It does, but just as one can use HTML off-line, so one can use RDF
off-line.
