Wherever the music from the trailer came from, I liked it. Given that the trailer music came from somewhere else - I'm guessing Giacchino himself didn't write it - is it likely that it could ever wind up 1) in the film, and 2) on the soundtrack CD?

Nope. It's pretty common to see movie trailers take score or music from other sources since the score is inevitably one of the last things finished on a movie. Witness how many trailers you'll see using "Requiem for a Dream" or the seventh movement of the Carnival of Animals by Saint-Saëns. And you'll never see them pop up on the actual soundtrack.
sorry double post

you are right and wrong, Yes it is really common for movie trailers to feature score music from other films. as it is also common for films to use temp tracks composed of other pieces of score music for screenings done while a movie is in the testing phase, (for example when i attended an early screening of hollywood homoicde a few years ago the big chase sequence down hollywood blvd and through hollywood and highland was scored with the main them from ANTZ, which by the way the scene worked much better with that bit of scoreing than the actual final original piece of music composed for the the scene.) But on the topic of final cuts of movies not featuring music from other scores you are not correct.
while not common there are occasions where score elements from other films make it into the final cut of a movie. for example the directors cut of Troy, it was decided to keep in The main title music from tim burtons planet of the apes remake over the fight between Achillies and hector as well as pieces of the score from starship troopers.
this sort of thing might happen a little more often than you might think

I hope they can work something out. Whatever that music is from the second trailer, I really liked it.
This is true, but not terribly common, from what I've seen, especially with a composer like Giacchino. I can't imagine he'd want to try to work someone else's music into his score (unless there was a plot-related reason), and since he and JJ have worked together before on Lost, Mission Impossible 3 and Cloverfield, I really don't see anything like that happening.
And, personally, I'd much prefer the score to be all Giacchino. Having a single composer or group of composers tends to be the best route, overall.
