No, a class is implictly a subclass of Object class. For example you can use use toString(), wait(), notify() etc. methods without using any object or class name prefix.

Yes, a class is considered to be a subclass of itself in many contexts.  Context is important, however, as in reality a class is not a strict subclass of itself and it is trivial to prove this with code.  Sun's own material often assumes this, for example, so it is likely that an interviewer will too.
