    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

    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+...

    Hopefully helpful,
