How much exp does a pet "steal"?

How much exp does a pet "steal"? -

If you have 8 people in the group (all with the same level, no pets), everyone gets exactly 1/8 of the experience points. Correct?

What happens if one player casts a pet (e.g. a Druid)?

Does this pet count as a 9th group member, so everyone would get only 1/9 of the total exp? (while the exp for the pet vanishes, of course)

Does it depend on activity of the pet, too? E.g. if the pet is passive or if it’s doing damage? What if it’s passive but heals the group? Is the pet level relevant? And is it working the same for charmed pets (e.g. by a Mentalist)?
