Sorry, nope, Japan has 11 AGT systems and half a dozen monorails (mostly Alweg-derived Hitachi heavy type, plus two Safege suspended monorails).  (I will be riding 9 of the 11 AGT systems and most of the monorails in March.)

Yes, but as an overall percentage, it's very small.  There are a total of 158 train lines in the Tokyo area and 70 in the Osaka area alone.

As an aside, almost every level rail crossing I have seen in Tokyo has had active gates and lights; unattended crossings are uncommon (but even at those, the traffic law requires everyone to stop before crossing).
