1) ... I just learned that it apparently evolves from Murkrow. Now, why couldn't some of the OTHER new evolutions look cool like that, instead of doing things like turning Tangela into the ultimate tentacle rape monster or Lickitung into a ball of meat?
2) Well, they've given some of the older ghost-types new evolutions- Misdreavus and Dusclops- so I guess they're more viable options now. That one bizarre pure-ice type whose name escapes me also becomes part ghost, which sort of doesn't make sense, but whatever. They're also pumping out a number of new ghost-types this time around, though some of them have some really weird secondary types. Like, Ghost/Electric for no discernable reason. Heck, quite a bit of Diamond-Pearl seems like one giant experimentation with twisted type combos (hey, let's make that penguin starter become a Water/Steel Prinnybot!) ... so, yeah, I'd say that Ghost Pokemon are an actual type now.
