The company absolutely does own shares of itself and it's ability to secure credit and just engage in business in general depends of the value of that holding.
No. The board can decide to issue more shares, but this is a sub-dividing of the already issued shares and so normally requires a vote from the shareholders. Major shareholders normally sit on the board, so the two groups overlap but are legally distinct.
If a company buys it own shares, it's normally a "buyback" and the shares cease to exist.
