Android Java code gets compiled into an APK file (think JAR with extra stuff). In the emulator, you run a program on your computer to upload the application to the phone; the jury is still out on what means Android will have for over-the-air download/install of apps. That might be carrier-dependent -- some phone companies might allow it and others might get nervous and not offer it.

(2) Would it run on mobile phones that already run the Windows CE operating system?

Most likely no.
