Answers:

Pilot is an industry term for the broadcasting industry. It i has been adopted by the mainstream, and as such any first episode of a new television series will often be called the pilot by the general public, even if the actual pilot is unaired or aired later in the series. In the pilots, they describes the theme of the show, and introduces the characters and the story lines.
It is probably so called, because it charts the course of the later shows.
