No, they are not lossless.
The compression technology achieves better fidelity than many mp3s, but there is still a loss of the original audio data. 'Apple Lossless', which is a separate format, is claimed to achieve original, or near-original, quality in about half the size of an uncompressed CD track.
AAC is portable - it's just a codec. The hardware boys can choose to enable AAC quite easily. Many phones and the Sony PSP support it now, and Sony has recently announced it will do so in future music players.
Strangely, Apple had nothing to do with the development of AAC - it was jointly developed by Nokia, Sony, AT&T, Dolby Labs, and Fraunhofer as a replacement for MP3. It's not an 'Apple format' at all.

No, strictly on iTunes Library. It stinks, but that's how iTunes makes their money.
