MXML is "ActionScript for dummies", it is XML based markup that people can use instead of (or with) ActionScript to add Flex components to the display list and set component properties etc. You can think of it as HTML which uses Flex components instead of <divs> <tables> etc. You don't need to use MXML to use Flex or Flex Builder, you can do everything with ActionScript.

You create AIR apps in the same way you would create a Flash or HTML site. The only difference is that running your app through AIR allows you to do some additional things such accessing the local file system, creating OS windows, and so on. AIR is a "wrapper" for Flash or HTML sites, you can think of it as a very cool version of the Flash Player.
