Unity power factor means the volage and the currents are in same angle. so the angle between voltage and current ( theta) is zero. so cos phi = cos 90= power factor = 1.

if the power factor is 1, i.e at unity power factor, the apparanat power and the real power are equal

Yes. Wikipedia has an article on the topic.
