Yes, it does use mod_python.

I know very little about python and the different ways of running it.
What does mod_python generally offer over fastcgi that would cause one
to use it instead?

In the past, things would reach a point where the log was filling with
errors every time someone hit the page(s). I found a few issues and
resolved them, such as the wrong versions of various added modules
(during the attempts to install Bitten). Unfortunately my lack of
understanding of Python left me unable to really understand what could
be done to repair the situation, so I removed as much of the Bitten
stuff that I could find (since it wasn't working anyway). That brought
the stability back somewhat, but we still get occasional errors in the
log, sometimes errors about mismatched DB versions, but these go away
once you restart apache, which is strange.

Frankly, I have little time to debug the existing solution on the
production server - I would rather build a fresh install somewhere
else (perhaps on my own local server) and see what the working pieces
look like so that I can educate myself on what is needed to
install/run Trac in the first place. Without this, I feel like I'm
poking in the dark.

If someone else has the knowledge and time, I think we could certainly
use some help.
