1) NO, APPLE ][ IS NOT HARD SECTORED!
Apple is COMPLETELY soft-sectored. While MOST machines that were
soft-sectored started the track with the index pulse, Apple and Commodore
ignored even the index pulse. Therefore, they would work with
soft-sectored diskettes, hard-sectored diskettes, upside down diskettes
with a write enable notch punched, etc.
2) NO, it has nothing to do with using a 6502.
It's been a LONG time since i've used an apple II, I was just going by a
friend that always used hard-sector disks on his II.
