Where can I look for stocks/companies are included in an index/ETF?
Answers:
Yahoo has a "components" listing for many of the indexes. For example, the S&P 500 and the DJIA:

Morningstar can give you the top 25 holdings of the ETF pretty easily. For example, here is the link for SPY:

Otherwise, an muncie birder indicated, the parent site should have the complete listing.
i don't know. need to know that, too
go to the parent site of the ETF. There they will tell you the composition of the ETF. Here is an example.

As you can see, this fund indexed to the S&P 500 is not a balance fund. It is capitalization weighted. The top 20 holdings of the fund make up about 30% of the total holdings of the fund. The other 480 are sort of window dressing.
