No, just a regular ol root ball.

Eh maybe a little, but nowhere near tangled enough to constitute an emergency and repot it. It looks like it has a new shoot coming in and you wouldnt want to shock the plant.

My aloe is super similar root looking wise! They don’t mind being a little cramped lol! I’d leave her for now!
