It's usually analog, but digital signals can be converted, if needed.
Yes, it is

The VAIO logo represents integration of analog and digital technologies - the 'VA' showing an analog wave and the 'IO' a digital binary code.

No and yes. Digital signals are usually square or pulse waves. By Fourier analysis, however, every periodic wave, even a square wave, is the summation of some series (often infinite) of sine waves.
Amplitude Modulation or analog is like a wave, digital is a series of 1s and 0s. Different animals unless you want to add complexity by including a converter between analog and digital
With an analog signal, it shrinks with distance. So its gets harder to tell when it is "there". A digital signal shrinks with distance. So as long as it is detectable, it is "there". So as a wave gets attenuated and then not by, say, variations in weather, to respond to an analog signal gets more difficult. With a digital wave, if you can find it -- it's there.
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.
It quantizes it into discrete points represented by zeros and ones (digital information). The number of samples must be at least two times the highest frequency component of the analog wave. The number of bits in each sample determines how close the digital information is to the actual value of the analog signal.
