From what I understand about Adobe AIR, you can use Javascript/HTML to develop desktop applications.
Does WPF also allow the use of Javascript/JQuery to build controls? Or is Microsoft's solution for interactivity here solely XAML?

A:
WPF is solely a desktop technology. even when writing an xbap in wpf the browser is just a container.

It would seem likely and useful that there would be some kind of tunnel to Javascript/HTML functionality available in XBAP applications, is there not or not one planned? WPF has the Page concept but it seems to be 100% XAML.

As Blounty says, this is not possible, WPF is just hosted inside a container.

Silverlight is your answer. Blounty is right, I don't beleive at this time you would be able to easily use Javascript/JQuery with WPF to develop custom controls. He also in his comment mentions using Silverlight.
Here is a link to a blog entry with sample code: JQuery with Silverlight
