Not every Apple service is E2E encrypted, but some of them (like iMessage) are, and it's 100% real E2E.

It's now way more than iMessage, especially if you opt into more:

If you do a forgot password and move to a new device do you lose all your chats?

AFAIK, if you can't get a previous device to authenticate your new device, you will indeed lose your chat history. However, I have several devices that can always authenticate for new ones, so I can't verify this empirically.

As the other person stated, in theory yes, but in practice, if you are an "Apple ecosystem" participant, you usually have another Apple device available that you can auth on.
