Is that Wallace's skeleton, and if so, where does it rest?

It's his sword. I think it's at Stirling Castle in Scotland.

I don't think Wallace's skeleton exists any more...

The English King REALLY didn't like Wallace, so after they killed him (quite the gory story that) they quartered him and sent the 4 quarters to the 4 corners of the kingdom to be buried in secret. They didn't want any grave to be a rallying point in the future for another rebellion. I can't remember the names of the towns where they sent it.

His head they put on a pike on London bridge.
