Metals have outer electrons that are not tightly bound. This is the definition of a metal - it is conductive when a voltage is applied. Imagine corks floating on a lake and a breeze blows. The metal atoms of an alloy are neutral when they are separate and remain so when they are alloyed because alloying is not a chemical process but a physical one. Because the metallic electrons are not tightly bound to any particular metal atom they will freely float away to neutralize any charge that is induced by the different nuclear proton numbers. Hydrogen is the simplest metal atom (yes, it is normally a gas). Electrically, though, it behaves like other metals.

How are the metals in an alloy mixed so that they are evenly distributed?

Metals in an alloy are mixed by melting them together and combining them thoroughly to ensure even distribution. This is typically done by heating the metals to their melting point and then stirring or agitating the molten mixture to promote homogeneity. Finally, the alloy is cooled and solidified to retain the desired properties.

No. An alloy contains a mix of metals, or metals with non-metals, but it has enough metal left to have metallic properties, which ceramic doesn't.
