Depends on how and where they're defined in ISA. Sometimes it's a
substitute for IP address. ISA can also do reverse proxying and other
things, so it can also be a number of other possibilities. I suspect
it's probably just a substitute for an IP.

You can't declare the FQDN in pfSense. You just forward port 80.

Not unless you configure a domain forward for your AD domain,
otherwise you'll hose your AD. As long as you do that, you can use
pfSense for DNS.
