In terms of an operating system, does a GPU have some type of software on it to manage virtual memory, or context switching?
And in terms of hardware, does it have some type of caching system, or a TLB?

Different GPUs handle this differently, as documented here. The Pascal series of GPUs share memory with the OS so there's no separate virtual memory.

Pascal most definitely has dedicated video memory (VRAM). However, DX12, CUDA, Vulcan handle controlling the GPU.

Dedicated VRAM? Yes. Virtual? Not as Windows or *ix knows virtual (i.e., swapfiles).
