Im trying to install Apache 2.4.12 or apache2.4 at least.
I see some listings for apache2.2 in the apt-cache, but I don't see apache2.4.
How can I verify the actually version that sudo apt-get install apache2
will install, without having to install?

do:
apt-cache policy apache2
you'll get output like this:
apache2:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1
Version table:
2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main amd64 Packages
2.4.7-1ubuntu4 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
The version listed as "Candidate" is the one that will be installed if you do apt-get install apache2
.
If there's more than one version available, you can force which one you want by giving the version number, in my example it would by default install 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.1 but I can force the other version with:
apt-get install apache2=2.4.7-1ubuntu4
