The gall bladder is a hollow structure that hold bile until it is needed to help digest fat. When the stomach senses that a fatty meal has been consumed it send a signal to the gall bladder to contract and expel its bile. The gall bladder being collapsed just means that it is contracted down. This could be normal or a sign of irritation.

Gall stones are indeed inside the gall bladder. They are buildups of cholesterol that over time bind together and form small 'stones' the size of small pebbles.

A person does not need to have a high cholesterol level to have gall stones. Sometimes, as the gall bladder contracts to squirt bile, a stone obstructs the small tube that goes from the gall bladder to the intestines. This is what causes the pain associated with gall bladder trouble. Many people will experience gall bladder pain once and never get the symptoms again in their lives.
