Rhino can import many more vector file types than just AI. These include the most common (DWG and DXF), but also several others. As far as exporting to another program for toolpathing, it depends on what program you are using and what file types it can read. For example, if you're going to Surfcam, it's usually best to export as an IGS file. For Mastercam, I believe DXF files work well.
