I understand that TCP/IP protocol is used to send the packets of information to the server. Does the server then use TCP/IP again to fulfill the request pack to the client?

TCP/IP is generally used in both directions.
If the function of the server involves sending a reply at all (and most do), it would almost certainly be via TCP/IP just as the client request was.
