Yes, Acrobat 9 Pro Extended includes LiveCycle Designer.

Yes, LiveCycle Designer is a completely separate program, although it gets installed at the same time you install Acrobat. If you check Program Files (Start-AllPrograms) you will see it listed separately from Acrobat.
When you create a form in LiveCycle Designer and save it, it gets saved as a PDF, although it is really an XML (or in Acrobatese and XFA) file with a PDF wrapper. This wrapper is what allows the form to be viewed in the free Adobe Reader, or of course, also in Acrobat. But forms created in Acrobat, called AcroForms, are different from LiveCycle Designer PDF forms and the two are not interchangeable between the two programs that create them.
I hope that is not too confusing....
Hope this helps,
