No, Timpani is a concert pitch instrument. In many case you wont even have a key rather you'll put accidental marking for every instance of a flat or sharp note.

Is the piano a transposing instrument?

No piano is a concert pitch instrument. Strictly speaking a transposing instrument is any instrument that the base note is not C in English and Do in Italian. As a piano is a stringed instrument, it does not have a base note as such, and when one presses what he or she supposes as C, the note heard is C.
