Should tremolo go in effects loop?

Placing a tremolo pedal in an effects loop is also closer to the signal path of an amp with built-in tremolo, but my personal preference is to plug a tremolo pedal into an amp's front end and save the effects loop for other effects.

Where should tremolo go in effects chain?

In general, the tremolo should go last in all the modulation effects, after chorus, phaser, or flanger. By placing the tremolo before both the delay and reverb pedal, it will only affect the dry part of your sound, leaving the delay and reverb to sound even wilder.

Is tremolo and delay the same?

A delay creates echo-y effects, and a tremolo creates an up and down pitch bending effect. They aren't the same at all.

Does tremolo go before delay?

Moving your modulation/delay/reverb effects around can create different sounds. If you want tremolo'd reverb (for example, I'd call a Fender Princeton a reverb-into-tremolo effect), place your reverb before your tremolo. If you want chorus'd delay, try placing your chorus after your delay.
