That's correct.

I know for a fact that Leopard is capable of running X86_64 binary, since I've compiled one and run it. In Activity Monitor, it does show "Intel (64-bit)" instead of just "Intel".
Yes. Like I said, everything above the kernel can run in 64-bit. Unlike with most operating systems, the kernel does not have to be 64-bit in order for the machine to run 64-bit programs.
