To the first question, yes, and to the second, no. fontspec and XeTeX
will give you access to features already built in a font, but will
not create new features.

AAT is Apple's font technology (Apple Advanced Typography), similar
to OpenType but superior in some respects and inferior in others. You
can see the features available for a given AAT font in the TextEdit
Font panel (Cmd-T), for example, selecting the font then clicking on
the wheel-like icon at the bottom of the panel then selecting the
Typography... item.
Alternatively, for an AAT font you can use XeTeX to process the file
AAT-info.tex, and for an OpenType font you can use XeTeX to process
the file OpenType-info.tex. Both are included in the XeTeX
install .dmg file, in Samples/Plain.
Hope this helps,
