No.
GCs can replicate partitions that they don't own to other GCs. They can't
replicate them to DCs for the domains in question, but they *can* replicate
their read-only partitions to other GCs.

That should be "GCs cannot replicate
partitions they don't own...." right?

Is
it a GC? If so, then yes, that's to be expected. You may have *thought* that
you gave it only one replication partner, but if you're seeing additional
connection objects, then it has more than one replication partner. When
planning replication, you must be aware of every partition that the DCs in a
site are hosting. If you don't want that remote DC to have connection
objects from all of those other DCs, you're probably going to need to set up
connection objects for preferred DCs for it to use for replication of
partition data. If it's a GC, and if you have a GC that is a DC for the same
domain in another site, that would be a good choice to set as a replication
partner, because they would be able to replicate all of their partitions
(GCs can replicate partitions they don't own to other
GCs).

It's a Windows 2000 native domain, we're about 4
upgrades from having all Win2k3 DCs and from what I've read, that should
help a lot with replication.
Automatic site link bridging isnt enabled, and we
have 0 site link bridges.
We're a worldwide company with 3 main hubs, but it is
a mesh network in design (MPLS).
I guess i'm mainly confused because the DC at the
slow bandwidth site in question only has one replication partner, yet we
see connections to it from a large number of our DCs on a regular
basis. Is this normal?
Intervals vary by company, domain structure, network topology and
latency tolerances. That said, there is nothing inherently wrong with the
replication parameters you list below. Are they the best parameters for
your environment? That depends. Is this a Windows 2000 environment? Is
automatic site link bridging enabled? There's a lot to consider in
determining how to set site link properties; what you've listed below
won't really be enough for anybody to give you any kind of realistic
advice. (sorry)

We have about 80 AD sites with DCs. All sites are set for a
cost of 100 on the site to site replication, and a replication interval
of 15 minutes. I'm presuming this is probably not a good
thing.
One slow bandwidth site is complaining that their DC is talking
to every DC in the domain.
What is everyone else using as a replication interval for
inter-site replication?
