As per my analysis both servlet and web container are a part of server(like JBOSS, Tomcat, Web Server...)

Nope, they're not. I generally tell people not to use the term "web container", as it is unknown outside of the Java world, and even in the Java world people are confused by it. See these previous discussions where I've held forth on that subject.
