Can I run a web server (for websites) on the same server that Zimbra is installed on?

Yes, you can if you are not using the Zimbra Appliance Edition. The web server and Zimbra server ports (namely Port 80 and 443) must be configured to not conflict. This can be done by assigning multiple addresses to the server, allocating one IP to Zimbra and the other to the web server. Or by allocating Zimbra to respond to HTTPS (Port 443) only and the web server to just HTTP (Port 80).

Do I have to install Zimbra on a stand-alone / dedicated server? Or can I use the server for other functions?

Yes you can use the server for other functions. Zimbra installs all the necessary software required to function and so there will be Port conflicts between such common applications as LDAP, web and email services if they are already on the server. The solution in this case is to have the services run on either unique ports or bind to different IP addresses.
