they don't have to check every line of code. 

one thing they do is check to see what api calls an app uses and if any
of those are not among the public official apis, the app is rejected.
this is an automated process and takes almost no time to do.

not when the apps are sandboxed. 

there is *no* way one app can access the data of another app. period.

as mentioned above, any attempt to get past that will result in a
rejection. even doing something entirely legitimate that happens to use
private api calls will cause it to be rejected. 

a jailbroken phone removes all security, so anything goes. that's how
you can run unofficial apps and other hacks that never would have made
it to the official app store.
