Is this based on an F1 car with slicks and an FE car on this standard "inters"? Because that hardly seems fair.

Also FE cars don't have active aero, was the F1 car using DRS?

It's still a fair representation of the cars as they are designed and used for though. There always is a "but if...". But yes, this is a fair way to compare those cars in reality. This is what would happen if you had a currently legal race spec F1 vs a currently legal race spec FE around a circuit. This is how you really compare stuff, by looking at what they are DOING instead of TELLING.
