This sounds like a really stupid question. I just bought a macbook air and I want to read ibooks from my iphone on it. I can see the books in my itunes, but I can't work out how to read them

You can't, ibooks from Apple can only be read in the iBooks app on an iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch - there isn't currently a Mac nor PC reader for them.

No, it is clear from the info provided already that it will be a separate app as it is in iOS.
Whether it will run on anything other than 10.9 we will have to wait and see, but I kind of doubt it.
