Yes, there is a large group of Muslims living all over the Netherlands and in Holland. Some you'll recognize by the way they dress, some you just won't like any other religion/faith.
They are no hassle though.

Yes, Muslims live in all areas of the Netherlands (Holland is only a part of the Netherlands).
There are ofcourse concentrations in towns where there is a mosque. And in the cities, you find more Muslims in the neighbourhoods where mosques are located.
Hope this helped

religious violence in the Netherlands, a normally placid country at the heart of Europe's self-image of tolerance. The wave of attacks and counterattacks began with the gruesome slaying of filmmaker Theo van Gogh as he rode his bicycle through Amsterdam on Nov. 2. Van Gogh was shot several times, stabbed, and his throat slit. A note was pinned to his body with a knife, threatening other public figures with death in the name of Islam. The director—the great-grandnephew of Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh—had made a controversial 11-minute film (in English, viewable here) in which a veiled Muslim woman, her body inscribed with Quranic verses beneath a semitransparent full-body veil, addresses Allah with a mixture of anger, devotion, and defiance while telling painful stories of domestic abuse condoned within Muslim culture.
A wave of retributive attacks against mosques, schools, and churches swept the country following van Gogh's murder. A bomb exploded at a Muslim school in Eindhoven in apparent retaliation; arsonists torched another Muslim school in Uden, an image that dominated the front page of Dutch daily Volkskrant; and vandals tossed Molotov cocktails at churches in Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Amersfoort

Yes, but they're mostly concentrated in the big three cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Haag [The Hague]).

Yes, there are no ghettos if that is what you are asking.
Every religion lives where they want or can afford to live.
