In the comic books, she could only glide on air currents. She seems to have developed full flight powers over the years. I'm guessing she can only fly for short distances and would use the invisible jet for greater ones like crossing an ocean.
Queen Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons, wanted a child and the goddess Athena told her to make a human baby out of clay. After Hippolyta did that, Athena breathed life into the baby, thus Diana was born.
Why SHOULDN'T she be attracted to Batman? Perhaps it's the fact that, even though he's a mere mortal (although, as Joker told Luthor, there's nothing mere about that mortal), he's hanging with the big guns and could probably take down some of them. Not to mention, obviously, he's a good-looking man. As to being able to beat him up, she could, but that wouldn't exactly do anything to enhance the relationship should one happen.

That's pre-Crisis. She's been able to fly under her own power, and across long distances, since the mid-80s.

Actually, that was the post-Crisis explanation (though I believe a few seeds were planted in the WW comics a few years before the launch of Crisis). Pre-Crisis, she needed the plane.
The plane was brought back because people missed it, same as the reason many of the Superman elements that John Byrne dumped were brought back by later writers.
