I assume that this is just like any other Mac App Store app and you
sign in to the App Store and download it with your account. This is not a
viable method for processes like imaging or pushing out to computers, so there
is a huge question there about how schools are going to be able to setup
programming labs. But for personal use this is an easy and well done method.

Assuming that 'uniix' is a typo, and you mean to ask "does XCode 4
install command line tools as well", then the answer is yes. It comes with both
GCC and LLVM compiler toolchains.

I wonder about the App Store version, since for third-party versions
you have to be completely self-contained. But with other version so of XCode 4
it is possible to install XCode 4 on top of XCode 3, or in a separate folder if
you want to still use XCode 3.

Not that comes to mind.
