Mobile AIR Components are being donated to Apache

No, but I hope to see some from Apache

No. Adobe is not planning to develop new components outside of Apache.

No way to know for sure. 4.6 has a pretty good set of components already.
I would bet if Apache Flex makes some really great mobile components, they

a while now. I think it is roughly the same model.
