Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
If you click on the Apple, then go to system preferences>network you will see show airport status in menu bar, which answers your first question.
Next up, if you go to assist me tab, and then click assistant, it will walk you through the process.

By that, I'm guessing you mean the airport extreme or express.
You can, and they are great quality.
If your router is a wireless router, that will do the job just fine.
I use a dynalink wireless router and have no problems with it.
Did you try the steps above?
