Isn PGPi the version that was weakened for export by the NSA?

No. PGPi is just as secure as any other version of PGP. Neither Phil Zimmermann, MIT, NSA, myself nor anybody else have put any backdoor into PGPi, lobotomized the random number generator, limited the effecive key size or otherwise done anything to compromise the security of the program. If you don’t believe it, download the source code and see for yourself. The PGP source is free for anyone to scrutinize, and has been so for many years now. Still, nobody has been able to find any backdoors. If you’re still not convinced, please read what Phil Zimmermann writes about the cryptographic integrity of PGP.
