Geoff:
The answer to your first question is certainly "Yes".

'"Harry's wand and Voldemort's wand share cores. each of them contains a feather from 
the tail of the same phoenix. This phoenix in fact," he (Dumbledore) added and he pointed 
at the scarlet and gold bird, perching peacefully on Harry's knee.

"My wand's feather came from Fawkes?" Harry said, amazed.

"Yes," said Dumbledore. "Mr.Ollivander wrote to tell me you had bought the second wand, 
the moment you left his shop four years ago."'

(GOF "The Parting of the Ways" p.605 UK edition)

Regarding your latter questions, the only observation I might make is that there has been 
speculation on the group in the past about the fact that Fawkes' colouring matches the 
house colours of Gryffindor.
