Once the Pro Apps are Universal, is there a chance that either 1. Some one will hack them to run on Windows? or 2. that Apple will actually release them on Windows? (FCP, FCE, etc) ala iTunes

No. Apple's Pro apps, like most good Mac apps, rely heavily on MacOS X APIs. In the case of multimedia apps, the Core media APIs will be required. Apple will have to port Cocoa to Windows for any of its apps to run on Windows.
