Will calling 

$ httpd graceful

clear out the APC cache, or do I have to do a full-blown

$ httpd restart

to do it? (Keeping in mind that I know there are better ways to do it, like calling apc_clear_cache() programmatically).

Both will clear APC cache.

You can also clear cache using the APC.php script.
