What you are seeing is normal. On Windows 98, OpenType are imported via ATM in he method you describe. The fact that Palatino Linotype appears as a TrueType font in Windows 98 is normal. OpenType is essentially a wrapper that can be used either for PostScript Type 1 fonts or TrueType fonts. Palatino Linotype is of the TrueType variety. In order to get full OpenType support on a Windows platform using InDesign, you'll need Windows 2000 or Windows XP. With Windows 98, you will not be able to access any of the extended OpenType features from InDesign. Finally, I'm not the font police, nor will I call them, but what you are doing *may* be a license violation. IANAL, but Linotype probably licensed the font to Microsoft to include in Windows 2000 / Windows XP. So, moving this font to a Windows 98 machine may be a license violation.
