Steve, I used to use Elements, now use Lightroom and Photoshop (but honestly only switched because have access via work. If I was paying myself, Elements would be fine).
As far as I know, the RAW processor is the same for all (Currently Camera Raw 7.2) It comes up when you open an image for editing. You can do some processing in Camera Raw, or some in PsE, and there is a lot of overlap in functionality. When I first started, I would skip through Camera Raw and only use PsE.
Without getting into too much detail here, as R2B implies, Camera Raw works from the RAW image but does not alter your original. PsE works on a processed JPG image, one created by Camera Raw, which is why it starts with the Camera Raw process.
