There is an antenna, but it's inside the case.
(Incidentally, this is the root of the uproar about the iPhone 4's antenna issues. The antenna was on the outside of the phone, causing people to muffle its antenna-ness when holding it tightly.)
a radio telescope focuses the incoming radio waves on a antenna, which absorbs and transmits these waves to an amplifier, just like a radio antenna.
Yes. A good rule of thumb is that if the device has an antenna, it uses radio waves. An antenna would not be needed if it didn't use radio waves.

They are picked up by the antenna.
A dish antenna must face the arriving waves.
A dish antenna must face the arriving waves.
The antenna does that.
An antenna picks up radio waves and converts them to electrical current
A simplified explanation is that the antenna does for radio waves what a lens does for light because of physics.
Wood does not conduct the radio waves. Metal does.
The source is the RF current in the transmitting antenna.
