Bet it does if you touch bare un-anodized metal, like the shields on the connectors, and you are on a conductive floor. The leakage is from the power supply, and since the power supply is two wire, there's no ground lead to drain the leakage current to earth, hence your body provides this path.
Might be the case. I have not run into that particular circumstance as of yet. I have yet to understand why Apple does not ship a 3 prong plug on all of their US bound laptops.
The leakage current is a lot worse in countries that use 240 volt mains supply as opposed to our 120 volt service. If anywhere they would need three prongs, it's in the 240 volt countries.
