Matt,
I'll answer your next question first, by saying "No, I don't have the
exact figures", but I believe that the vast majority of domestic First
Class seats are occupied by mileage plan users, not full fare paying
passengers.
Happy Flying!

I don't think you are correct, but I don't have the figures either. I
fly first class fairly often though and my seat neighbor is almost
always another person flying on business. I only rarely encounter a
person flying on frequent flier miles, unless you are counting business
fliers who got an upgraded ticket. Even so, they still in some sense
paid for the privilege by flying a lot back in coach! :-)
