If you just type in the expression as Mathematica code, doesn't Wolfram Alpha evaluate it just as Mathematica would?

Yes, but it times out rather quickly. Mathematica is much more powerful.
(For those interested: the relevant syntax is
Integrate[x^2, x]
or
Integrate[x^2, {x, 0, 1}]
You can find more Mathematica at
http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/Mathematica.h...
; searching the Mathematica docs is often easier than figuring out which textual query Wolfram|Alpha understands.)

No not always. I've tried several times, but W|A pipes the input first trough the natural language processor.
