I am new to SSRS and Microsoft BI stack, and want to know if SSRS Report server runs on top of IIS or is it a separate entity (server) that runs independent of IIS?
Secondly how to give public access to a report server? Also is it necessary or the Report Viewer embedded in a site (or application) communicates with the report server on user's behalf?

To publish all reports in a projectOn the Build menu, click Deploy <report project name>. Alternatively, in Solution Explorer, right-click the report project and then click Deploy. You can view the status of the publishing process in the Output window.
Report server items are always stored in libraries or in a folder within a library. When you access the SharePoint site, you see the Browse page and the Library Tools tab.
The Report Server service account is defined during Setup. You can run the service under a domain user account, or a built-in account such as Virtual Service Account.
In the Windows start menu, type reporting and in the Apps search results, click Report Server Configuration Manager. Click Start, then click Programs, then click Microsoft SQL Server, then click Configuration Tools, and then click Report Server Configuration Manager.
Microsoft severed the IIS dependency for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) in the 2008 version, everything is set up from the Reporting Services Configuration Manager.
With regards to public access to the reports, there may be some security aspects that should be considered before allowing this.

In terms of the Report Viewer's role, see this question for further reading: How does Report Viewer communicate with SSRS?
