Sendmail is an SMTP server. Therefore it processes both mail destined for it, and mail destined for another SMTP server.

more accurately it's an MTA =) have you checked out qmail.. it's a very nice replacement for sendmail

Yes, sendmail will receive. You need to do some more than just add an MX record... there is also some sendmail configuration that needs to take place.
