AND is vector entry-wise multiplication (hadamard product) with boolean entries, not just multiplication in base 2. Multiplication between numbers is not affected by base - base just defines how the number is written down.

It's multiplication in the sense that for two base-2 numbers A and B, A & B is the same as A * B, but I get your point.

For two bits AND is multiply, not for two numbers in general, regardless of base.
