No, they simply changed their former name to just the abbreviation: AARP.

You can actually join AARP at any age. They will gladly take anyone who will pay the $16 annual fee.

Let's try to stay on topic, which is AARP/Senior discounts on AA. The answer is no. What age one is able to join AARP or what AARP stands for is not germane to AA.

The answer is decidedly yes, but you have to book it through BA as a codeshare.
Anyone can join AARP irrespective of age. Just go to thier website. After joining follow the BA link from the AARP website.

Yep, I'm a millennial and a member of AARP -- mainly because I'm a caretaker for my mother who is >65. But since the process doesn't restrict you to a different membership category based on age anyway (i.e. you're still a general member regardless of age), you can use any of the member discounts, etc.
