Macintosh Programmer's Workshop: in the full version, includes a shell
(yes, on a Mac OS before X!), C and C++ compiler, and various other
shellish things. It's free too. (Free as in beer, anyway.)

Yes, but they're not installed by default. (I can't remember if the
'BSD subsystem' is installed by default either though.) It comes on a
seperate CD within the OS X shrinkwrap box- you also get OS 9 and OS X
base install.
You also get ProjectBuilder IDE.
