Yes, the server is based on Perforce, called Piper, but the CLI is based on mercurial. So locally you're doing hg and then when you create a CL, it translates it into what p4 needs.

Depends on what frontend tool you use. You can use either. These days you can also use jj. I'm not sure the backend resembles peforce any longer.
