By the way, note that TeXShop has some sync functionality even  
without loading pdfsync.

Rather, into ~/Library/texmf/tex/plain/myauxfiles or wherever inside / 
plain, for use with plain TeX.  The first couple of levels in a texmf  
folder have strict rules.  But, if put in the proper place, the  
answer is "yes".

No.
