Yes and no, although it's possible in principe to have a 'Kotlin' KVM maintened by JetBrains. So far the JVM is closely tied to Java.
I have a hard time seeing what you could do in Kotlin without any Java interop. Concurrent collections, networking, most of the JVM ecosystem, it's all Java.
What do you mean? Kotlin compiles to Java Bytecode, it does not need Java libraries to work.
The JVM was developed for Java originally but has had features built in to facilitate developing other JVM languages.
About the ecosystem: MANY libraries and frameworks already have Kotlin versions, first in line Spring and Android. Kotlin has even been the preferred language for Android for years now.
