Does Facebook actually use RSC? I thought it was mainly pushed by the Nextjs/Vercel side of the React team.

No, but it's primarily because Meta has their own server infrastructure already. RSCs are essentially the React team trying to generalize the data fetching patterns from Meta's infrastructure into React itself so they can be used more broadly.

I wrote an extensive post and did a conference talk earlier this year recapping the overall development history and intent of RSCs, as best as I understand it from a mostly-external perspective:

No they don't. I think Meta is just big enough that they don't really care what is happening with React anymore haha.
