This has nothing to do with automake.

libtool is always built in the build tree, regardless of whether it's
installed on the build system. A[MC]_PROG_LIBTOOL is what creates the
libtool script in the top build directory of the library that uses it,
sets the LIBTOOL variable to point to that script and AC_SUBSTs it,
assuming that Makefiles that run $(LIBTOOL) have lines such as:
LIBTOOL = @LIBTOOL@
Using automake will get you the $(LIBTOOL) rules and definitions
automatically in the Makefiles, but it's not necessary to use automake
to use libtool.
I hope this answer obviates answers for the other two questions.
