Not true. That Vanishing Cabinet if you remember has a twin where the Borgin & Burke shop is in Knockturn Ally which is just off of Diagon alley. Where they sell dark items. It mentioned this place in the 2nd book I think. When they used floo powder to get to Diagon Ally to get their school supplies.And Draco's father had slipped the diary into Ginny's cauldron.
   
Also it was mentioned in the last book that Malfoy had wanted the shop owner to fix the cabinet for him. Said it was very important and that Fenir Greyback the werewolf would be coming to check up on the progress he was making.
   
And yes you can apparate outside of the gates. Herminie states in book 1 that you cannot apparate anywhere inside of Hogwarts due to the magical reinforcements that have been placed on the castle. But I beleive that you could apparate outside of there.
