1. I have used it. My biggest gripe with it is that it only allows you to export a PDF-- and that PDF is noticeably branded. This makes the output look like you just used a boilerplate template, even if the heavy instructional design work is your own. It also is very inflexible.
2. There's more than software at work here: It could be one of many specialized video effects applications (After Effects, Motion) combined with some skilled video editing. These take a significant investment in time and money to work with effectively, in addition to computing power beyond your average office PC or Mac. But if it's the zooming angles you like, try Prezi. You can achieve a very similar effect, and it's about as easy as PowerPoint.

I can't speak to question 1.
In regards to what software they used, I don't know, but I've done very similar things using Adobe After Effects and Premier.
