The comment field typically is used for a synopsis, but it's use is up to you. IBooks (current version at least) ignores the comment field but some readers will show it on demand.

calibre produces a file after conversion, within it is another file which contains the front cover image, an ePUB file, and a zip file, do I include all three in my upload to itunes content server or is the ePUB completely self contained? do I zip them...sorry guys, this is all new to me and though I can write xhtml and css fairly well, this is my very first step into learning the ins and outsof ePUB format, I already handcoded a copy for the kindle.

The pub is self-contained (it is actually a zip file despite the extension so you can peek inside it if you want). The zip file will be the original HTML version, while the cover.jpg file is just Calibre's copy of the cover image.
