If you computer goes to sleep, then you will lose your network connection and AIM will then disconnect. But it's probably best to let your computer go to sleep.

Could just be your wireless connection. Your card might shut down when your computer is idle, or you may just be dropping the connection—wireless networks, especially in the home, are notoriously unstable.

Aside from getting something to strengthen your signal, such as a re-broadcaster, no. You could try lessening the distance between your wireless router and your computer, either by moving your computer closer to your router, or your router closer to your computer.
