You could say that Gearbox is just a framework for running command line
tasks. The tw2.browser subcommand comes from the tw2.devtools package
and starts the ToscaWidgets 2 Widget Browser that displays the samples
for alle installed ToscaWidgets packages.

Gearbox just replaced PasteScript some time ago, the functionality is
about the same. But you won't need any of them for just using
ToscaWidgets (apart from showing you the samples, the tw2.devtools
package is useful for developing new tw2 packages).

Definitely not!
ToscaWidgets has a WSGI middleware part that needs to be set up in the
Pyramid processing pipeline and the you just use ToscaWidgets widgets in
your code.
There is a whole chapter in the documentation about using tw2 with
pyramid:

I always suggest to read the code - in that case of tw2.jqplugins.jqgrid
- to find out how it works and what you can do with it. But the tutorial
about TW2 and Pyramid also has some paragraphs on it, so that might be a
start.
