Actually, there is an affiliate profile, I think. If you access
[page affiliate/login] you will be able to log in.

Yes, absolutely. For extra speed, you could do:

[if type=data term="affiliate::active::[data session source]"]
     <img src="[either][data base=affiliate field=image key='[data session source]'][or]bg.gif[/either]">
[/if]
