Capitalism is inherently anti-egalitarian in the same way feudalism is.
Not if you assume people will be altruistic and that the system will not be corrupt, which are the assumptions people make for theoretical communism. Then it too can be egalitarian.
No, capitalism concentrates wealth by design. No corruption is required (but it does help).
