1. Not really. The games you mention are of the action genre, RPGs tend to have a slightly slower pace with more dialog and character development.
2. Sort of. Battles are done on a turn basis. You have a basic set of commands which your character can perform after selecting with the main buttons which in turn usually leads to a more sophisticated list of commands (for example, choosing Magic leads to a listing of the variety of Magic your character can use). Then, using the Dpad, you select which opponent you'd like to attack, then press a button to confirm. There's really no concept of "aiming" in the FF series, your character does this automatically.
