解:
(1) $\because AC⊥ l,$$\therefore ∠ ACB=90°.$
$\therefore$ 在$\mathrm{Rt}△ ABC$中,$AC=\sqrt{AB^2-BC^2}=\sqrt{(4\sqrt{2})^2-(2\sqrt{2})^2}=2\sqrt{6}$($\mathrm{km}$)
(2) 如图,连接$AD.$
$\because$ 观光亭$D$到点$C$的距离与观光亭$D$到点$B$的距离相等,
$\therefore D$为$BC$的中点.
$\therefore CD=\frac{1}{2}CB=\frac{1}{2}×2\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2}$($\mathrm{km}$).
$\therefore$ 在$\mathrm{Rt}△ ACD$中,$AD=\sqrt{AC^2+CD^2}=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{6})^2+(\sqrt{2})^2}=\sqrt{26}$($\mathrm{km}$).
$\therefore$ 观光亭$D$到村庄$A$的距离为$\sqrt{26}\ \mathrm{km}$
