As for the prices, that's what you get with zero competition.
Yes, the chip that this new Titan uses is cut down, and is not the full Pascal chip. In the realm of consumer graphics cards (as of the current and prior generation of chips), the full chip is labeled as G_X00—where _ is the first letter of the architecture that they're on (Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, etc.), and X is a number (usually 1 or 2). However, there can be sub categories beyond that, so...

Code:
GTX 980     - GM204 (GeForce Maxwell 204)
GTX 980 Ti  - GM200 (also Titan-X Gen1)

GTX 1080    - GP104-400 (GeForce Pascal 104)
GTX 1070    - GP104-200
GTX 1060    - GP106-400
GTX Titan-X - GP102-XXX (GTX 1080 Ti may be the exact same chip, or slightly cut down)
The big Pascal chip with HBM2 is currently P100. Whether or not we see GP100 is up to nVidia, but I've read some things about people now speculating that we won't see HBM2 until Volta, which is the chip after Pascal.
