No, colleges understand that some schools don't offer such classses.
it will hurt you if your school does offer them, but you didn't take them.
But you can always self-study for AP exams! That would definitely boost your application!!
No, as long as you mention that you took the most rigorous courses provided for you, colleges will not hold the school's lack of courses against you. As the above comment said, show initiative by self-studying for AP exams and seeing if your school offers studying with local colleges (dual enrollment).
Itll be included in your school profile that its not there in your school which will let them know. But you can always take the exam at another centre u can find resources to study online.

Since the lack of AP classes at your school is out of your control, it won't hurt your chances. However, due to the lack of AP's, you may want to look into other higher-level class options, such as dual enrollment, community college classes near you, or IB/Honors classes. Best of luck!
