No, Satellite is a separate product and is not packaged with RHEL. Having said that, spacewalk is in the process of being included in Fedora (but this may take a while). Draw your own conclusions from this.
Yes, it is possible to manage RHEL systems with spacewalk however for spacewalk to directly talk to *.rhn.redhat.com you'll need to obtain (read as 'buy') a satellite certificate. This certificate will tell spacewalk/satellite what your RHEL entitlements are. I'm guessing though that if you want to manage Fedora/Centos/WhiteBox etc machines that you'll need management and provisioning entitlements for these machines also. If you go spacewalk there are (legal) ways to pull down the RHEL updates (if you have relevant subscriptions) but you won't get the associated errata info which is very useful. For more info subscribe to the rhn-satellite mailing list or ask on #rhn-satellite on irc.freenode.net Hope this helps.
