What is yast in opensuse is yum in fedora. Does the same thing, works in the same way. Most software not listed in the repository will have a line to add to yum to get it to work from there. I know as i have seen it before and used it before.
No. yum[1] is the package manager. Similar utility in OpenSUSE is called zypper[2]. It is the new package manager introduced in OpenSUSE since version 11. Yast[3] is more than just package manager, it's more of a system management tool.
