What host computer? Any webserver that you go to? No, then can not tell
that you are connected via a wireless connection, and they cannot get
your MAC address, as the MAC address are changed by each router the
packet passes through.

Assuming this "host/server" is not on the AP's LAN, the answer will depend
on what cookies you browsers accept and what spyware has been installed.
