Yes.
X has been the defacto graphics engine protocol
for unix (including aix) since 1986.
X in turn was standardized from os-specific
graphics engines popular in and before the late 1970s

Microsoft windows)
The X protocol like the http (web) protocol specifies
communication,
The "look and feel" of X is determined by selection
of "window manager".
Most X window managers are much more flexible,
featured, and easy-to-use.
In addition to the window manager (X terminology
from 1986 for the window whose attached process
coordinates the other inputs and outputs) supplied
by IBM with AIX, I believe many other window managers
are usable with AIX.
I suggest you look at beryl and blackbox.

No.
AIX, like other unixes is GUI+CLI+API+...
