On most legacy USA-based airlines, it's a marketing term to call the front of domestic fights "first class" on 2-class flights. But on flights where there are first, business, and economy classes, "first" always is a higher class of service than "business."
Yes.

Comparing domestic First with international Business is a non-starter. Products have no relation to each other.
On flights with 3 classes of service, First is higher than Business.
