I am a Java programmer. I am wondering why CSC is generating an exe file instead of generating some MSIL file as Java does (.class files). Is it that .exe is just an extension and the file is actually in MSIL?

Yes.
Microsoft has a disassembler (Ildasm), that will show you the IL and a disassembled version of the file.
