No, it is not. Ascorbyl palmitate is a synthetic fat-soluble form of vitamin C. Natural vitamin C is natural only when sourced from foods.
That is a difficult question to answer. "Synthesized" refers to "man-made." While it is probably true that "natural" vitamins are better than ones that are produced from non-natural products, both have disadvantages. For one thing, Vitamins interact with other vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. If the nutrients that a Vitamin needs to work right in the body is missing, the vitamin is not going to be effective. Both man-made and natural vitamins may lack important co-factors that vitamins need to work optimally (or at all) in the body. For another, vitamins in both synthesized and natural supplements sometimes may only a be a part of the whole vitamin. An example is Ascorbic Acid and Vitamin C. While both are used interchangeably to refer to Vitamin C, Ascorbic Acid is only a part of Vitamin C. In addition, there can be different forms of Vitamins. Vitamin B9 is an example. While folic acid is the term heard most often, foliate is the form that occurs naturally in foods. While natural vitamins may be better than synthesized vitamins, vitamins made from whole foods are better than both. Of course the optimal way to get vitamins and other nutrients is from eating a variety of healthy foods.

Probably eating a lot of fruit. If there's abundant vitamin C in the diet, it doesn't really matter if you can make it yourself or not, so there's no evolutionary advantage to keeping around the cellular machinery to do so.
