Hi Ian, Yes, and Yes. The idea of feedback, when refering to a delay, is that the signal gets fed back into the delay circuit and then gets repeated, and the process continues. Feedback is the amount of that signal which gets fed back, so if you don't feed as much signal back, the repeates become softer and softer and softer, and eventually fade completely. If you feed the same signal level back, the repeats simply continue as they are, at the same volume level, indefinitely... Since alot of what people are using is digital, the idea of an analog delay circuit is modeled in different ways, but the concept of feedback is similar. Anyway, others here, know much more on this, so hopefully someone can elaborate on, or correct the fine points so this makes more sense. -Hope this helps.
