That's not true - the intercept is a kind of average intercept across
all units.  Have a look at the manual entry for -xtreg-.

Yes - use the -predict- command after estimation.  You probably want the
-u- option, which gives you the fixed effect u_i.  These have mean zero,
so if you add the estimated constant you should have your intercepts.

Cheers,
Mark
