I would think that there should be a gap because when the car is at idle you are not touching the gas and opening the throttle body but the engine still needs air to run.

I am about 90% positive that mine was closed and when I would force it open and let it go, it would slam shut again.

Mine looks like this:
The blade doesn't sit fully shut when it stops, there seems to be a detent holding it off of being completely closed but you still can't see anywhere near as much light as yours has coming through it.

The pcm Im sure instructs it to close and sets a zero position for it and the gas pedal when you first turn the key to start the car.This is done to sync the two together.
Found this for you !!
The throttle body functions similar to a conventional throttle body with the following exceptions:
• An electric motor opens and closes the throttle valve.
• The throttle blade is spring loaded in both directions and the default position is slightly open.
• There are 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body assembly.
The TP sensors are used to determine the throttle plate angle. The TP sensors provide the powertrain control module (PCM) with a signal voltage proportional to throttle plate movement. The TP sensor 1 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the 5-volt reference and decreases as the throttle plate is opened. The TP sensor 2 signal voltage at closed throttle is near the low reference and increases as the throttle plate is opened.
