If I am trying to level a Pokemon (Munna, for example), so I wander around and battle lots of wild Pokemon, and then I decide to catch one of these wild Pokemon (because I don't have it yet), will my Munna (or whoever I was using during that battle) still get experience points (EXP) for that battle? Or do you only get EXP if you actually make the Pokemon faint?

No, you only get experience points for opposing Pokemon that faint in battle.

That is very simple: your pokemon get experience only if you defeat the wild pokemon or a trainer's pokemon.
