Does the Delta EverEdge include a faucet?

No. The tub ships without a faucet, so you choose a deck- or wall-mount filler and trim separately. Budget for that hardware and the rough-in plumbing.

Is this a jetted or soaking tub?

It is a soaking tub only. There are no whirlpool or air jets, which means no pump to fail and no jet lines to flush, but also no massage feature.

Will it fit a standard alcove?

It is built for alcove installation with its edge flush to the wall. Confirm your rough opening and drain location against Delta's spec sheet before ordering, since framing tolerances matter.

How does it compare with a freestanding tub?

The EverEdge gains space by sitting against the wall and is easier to seal in a three-wall alcove. A freestanding tub offers more styling freedom but needs clearance on all sides.

What is the tub made of?

Delta builds it as a white acrylic-style soaking tub. Acrylic holds water temperature reasonably and is light enough for a two-person install, but it can scratch and flex more than cast iron.
