yup - the aleutian island chain crosses the 180th meridian, putting the last few islands in the eastern hemisphere. So technically they are east of New England.
Do you think the good folks at Snapple would lie to you about something this important?

Yes, if you consider that part of Alaska is over the International Date Line. So it would be considered the westernmost (since it's on the line) and the easternmost (since it's over the line on the other side).
It's partially a trick question, but it's true.

No. Hawaii is farther west. Besides, your question makes no sense. If one state was farther west and east than any other, it would have to be so long longitudinally that it reached west of Hawaii and East of the most eastern state.

Furthest east furthest west....from where?
These directional things are totally subjective.
It depends on where you are at.
