1. Was iTunes for Windows developed in objective-C? via X-code?
iTunes on both Mac and Windows is written in C/C++, not Objective-C.
Purely conjecture, but I don't believe you would be safe making
absolute assumption that iTunes (even on Windows) is written entirely
in C++. Granted the original application was based on a Carbon
application, but it has grown quite a lot since.
I'd feel very confident in conjecturing that, if nothing else, the
Cover Flow control in iTunes is written in Objective-C. Certainly it
is the case that the cross-platform Safari application is written in
Objective-C so there is no reason to doubt that Apple has the ability
to run Objective-C on Windows environment. (indeed the "Yellow Box
for Windows" of the distant past shows that an Objective-C runtime
can be happily hosted in an application environment on Windows).
Now as to using Xcode for cross platform development...
