What if for example, a class had only 1 student in it and they did not try at all for their assessments, thus receiving terrible results, but did extremely well on the exam? Would the assessment mark = the external mark? I know this is very hypothetical...
Yes of course. Why would it not be?

If you come first internally and externally (at your school), is your internal "mark" equal to your exam mark? If not, does someone know (precisely!) how your internal "mark" is calculated based on your position in the spread of internal and external marks at your school in this subject? (and any other factors that may be involved?) A link to something official would be amazing.
This is probably the closest thing I could find.

Cheers, exactly what I was looking for...it turns out it is quadratic interpolation (with modifications in special cases.)
Well you didn't need that link to find out it was a quadratic (I assume you are referring to assessment marks). As before: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc-results/moderation.html

Conversion graph

The conversion relating the moderated assessments to the school assessments is given by a curve (a quadratic function) rather than a straight line.
Of course that document goes into more technicality than the website.
