For maximum scalability on GAE you shouldn't use H2, but will want to use the GAE datastore directly. I'm not sure that's it's really possible to do a comparison to SQL Server, because they're really two different things. You can think of the entire GAE infrastructure--including the datastore--as being essentially infinite. As soon as you deploy your application, the GAE infrastructure has essentially unlimited capacity to grow as much as your application needs, without you having to do anything else. This is one of the great promises of cloud computing.
Yes, the GAE datastore is proprietary. However, Google provides tools for datastore import/export (though I've never used these), and I'm sure third-parties will come up with solutions.
