You would need to add apache22_enable="YES" to the jail's rc.conf, not
the host's.

Edit httpd.conf, adding a ServerName directive.  (An example exists in
the file, so you can model after that.)  If you don't have a FQDN, use
the jail's hostname, and add that hostname to the jail's /etc/hosts.

You can build from source if you like, but ports are easier, IMHO.

Have a look here for more information on the ports tree:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html

'make config' to show the configuration screen; 'make install' to
compile and install.

Nope; have a look at the link I pasted above.  I think you might like
the ports tree rather than compiling from source, since all of the "hard
work" has already been taken care of for you.
