No, not pre-rendered, THQ claimed those movies were made with the in game engine. Too bad THQ ran into cash problems and pulled the plug on the game.

Graphics aren't transferred over the internet. All those skins/models are locally generated on your computer. The only data that travels back and forth is your position, movement, voice etc.

I don't know, the physics looked bad from those scenes, and the planes were all uncreative amalgamations of current birds. Half F-15 half F-14? A-10 with the engines simply moved into the tail itself. Either use the real birds or be more creative with your own aircraft.

That cinematic intro CG animation was done by RealtimeUK, a UK based visual effects studio. It was in no way, shape or form made with any game engine. It was completely pre-rendered using 3D Studio MAX.
