Being both a part of the United States Government, it would be a waste of resources for NASA to build something that the Air Force already had and was only needed occasionally - like an alternative landing site at Edwards Air Force Base. On the other hand they are funded separately and money has to be transferred when Air Force facilities are "borrowed" and NASA has its own planes for moving people and equipment, including that 747 that carried the Shuttles on top. The Air Force has a separate, mostly secret satellite launching program that uses Vandenberg in the west and a site in Alaska but occasionally fires rockets from NASA's pads in Florida.

Yes, they are. The landing site of many Space Shuttles WAS an air force base, and The Air Force supports NASA with launch facilities frequently.

But NASA is for exploration; the Air Force is branch of the US's Armed Forces.
They probably do have some joint ventures, though.
