iTunes won't read FLAC files, so you can't convert them with iTunes. Use Audacity or Max.

Searching the forum with MRoogle will usually find answers to most of your questions:

Yes, you will get quality loss, but is not audible with the right settings.

Incorrect. Lossless to lossless conversion results in another lossless file.

Incorrect. Lossless to lossless conversion results in another lossless file.

Then I confused Apple Lossless with AAC as it seems. Thanks for the correction.

If you can run Windows in bootcamp or a virtual machine there's a program called dBpoweramp that will convert virtually any format to virtually any other format. It's also multithreaded.

Just use XLD. It's a great tool that does FLAC to Apple Lossless among others. http://tmkk.hp.infoseek.co.jp/xld/index_e.html
