No, the Nintendo DSi cannot play GameBoy Advanced or GameBoy Games. However, it can play all the games for Nintendo DS Lite and Nintendo DS, except for games that require the slot 2 such as Guitar Hero.

Yes--in a way. Game Boy games are, like the Wii's Virtual Console service, available for download from the Nintendo 3DS's eShop. There is no GBA slot on the 3DS, so this is the only way to play Game Boy or Game Boy Color games on the system.
