Wasn't there some language in the deal about Internet Explorer as well as Office?

Yes. As part of the deal Apple was required to include Internet Explorer on Macs (for some amount of time). IE 5 and 5.5 on the Mac were actually very good browsers.

But Apple was not prohibited from including other browsers as well. For example, years later, Safari.

Yes but Apple shipped both IE and Netscape.
