The term 'impedance' covers pure resistance too. In the case of attenuators it will almost always be the case that X=0.

I'm not clear what your question 2 is asking. Source and load different? Or source and load not pure resistance? If the former, yes. If the latter, it depends on how the impedances vary with frequency but for some cases it should be possible.
