BTW, the terminology used by Cocoa is mainly "historical interest."
In NeXTStep, the menus were laid out differently than on Mac OS X,
and AIUI the terminology used by NSMenu is a better fit for that
older paradigm.
(This is also why there are several NSMenu/NSMenuItem functions which
do nothing in OS X—they were used in NeXTStep but are not handled by
the Mac OS' menu manager.)

is the NSMenu object returned by the NSApplication method mainMenu
the menubar?
No.
If mainMenu is NOT the menubar, is it the "Apple" menu or the next
one - the one that has the application's name?
The main menu consists of all left hand menu items in the menubar.
The menubar is the whole bar at the top of the screen. It hosts the
main menu on the left and menu extras and status items on the right
hand side.
