It is (x - a)^2 + y^2 = a^2 or, equivalently, x^2 + y^2 = 2ax.

Does a tangent circle pass through the center of the circle?

If the tangent circles are outside of one another, then neither passes through the center of the other. If one circle is within the other, then the inner tangent circle might contain the center point of the larger circle. There will be infinitely many inner tangent circles that do not.

Is the center of a circle the point of intersection for two concentric circles?

Concentric circles are the circles with the same center therefore they do not cross with each other as the "center is not considered a point on the circle". An exception would be two circles that are concentric and have the same radius, in which case the circles are indistinct and every point of the circles is an intersection.
