Yes, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CASUM/RESTful+API for a

No.  The RESTful API is simply a programmatic interface to the CAS
protocol, so a TGT is the means by which service tickets are granted.

Are you making this comment based on actual measurements?  If creating
a TGT is slow in your environment, it would be unusual and would merit
investigation on its own.
