CDK outputs CloudFormation templates that you can pass to any other tool if you wish. CDK is technically just a glorified shim over CFN (although 1000x better but you do get caught in the awkwardness that is CFN many times).
It does, but very indirectly which defeats the point of "just emit YAML". I regret phrasing it that way as it seems to have caused a lot of confusion. See my responses to sibling comments for more information.
