Answer 1

I believe you can use Mono to develop for the iPhone. You can read more about this here www.mono-project.com/Mono:Iphone

This requires Static compilation, and I've heard the process is pretty difficult at this point. Here is an article that provides some details http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/01/open-source-mono-framework-brings-c-to-iphone-and-wii.ars

If you are beginning iPhone development similar to myself I'd suggest sticking with XCode and the Apple tools. Although they offer a different developer experience then we are used to from Microsoft tools, they seem to have a good helpful community around them.

Update: Mono Touch now allows you to do development using MonoDevelop and statically compile for the iPhone. Here is the link with more info http://monotouch.net/

Answer 2

Xcode must be used to develop for the iPhone. It is the only platform for which the iPhone SDK is available.
