A programming language isn't in it self open source or not, but an implementation of it might be. Yes, there are open source implementations of Java. Open Java Development kit (the most popular one), is one of them.

Yes, or it will be eventually (there may still be some things they're working on replacing since they were used under licence). Sun committed to making it open source and you can download it from them. Check out OpenJDK.
