TeXShop (really terrific): http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html
Carbon emacs: http://home.att.ne.jp/alpha/z123/emacs-mac-e.html

For the latter, make sure to use the auctex package.  Google "auctex"
for details.  I recommended TeXShop as a previewer for LyX in an earlier
message, but it's actually an extremely robust environment for writing
LaTeX documents, complete with integrated editor.  And since you're
using a Mac, google XeTeX, a Mac-specific TeX implementation that
enables you to use all of your Mac fonts with LaTeX (Hoefler Text is
especially nice).  XeTeX support is integrated into TeXShop.

Yes, of course.  LyX simply calls your system's TeX installation, just
as an ordinary text editor would.
