LGSIL pap smear only 17, not first pap

I was diagnosed with LGSIL from a pap smear from a health clinic. I have had at least 3 other pap smears before this one with normal results. I know LGSIL is caused from HPV and i have an appointment with a gyno to do a colposcopy and biopsy. My questions are:

1. Is LGSIL FOR SURE a wart? or just pre-cancerous cells? ive read both and am so confused.
2. Am i likely to develop warts on the outside genital area, and is my boyfriend likely to develop warts as we have had unprotected sex for over a year so he definitely has the HPV.
3. Are there ever false positives for this condition because like I said this was a routine pap smear at a health clinic and the first abnormal result i've have. i normally get pap smears from my gynocologist.

I also want to say that I had the guardasil vaccine 2 years ago.
