Explain to me how 4x4 works in my 99 4runner

My 99runner has:

1) 4x4 button on the side of the 4x4 shifter
2) pull back shifter for 4x4 high
3) push right and foward for 4x4 low
4) Rear differential lock button on dashboard

4 wheel drive as I understand it, means that power is distributed to the right rear and front left tires evenly, with 4 high just being a lower gear for tight situations.

So what's the button for on the shifter; is that some kind of "part time" 4x4.

And the rear diff; does that lock the rear differential so that both rear wheels have equal power with not slippage?

How does 4x4 compare to all wheel drive systems.
