Or is it just a friendly phrase people use in replying to other people?

Its not just an American thing. I live in Australia thank you very much & we use it always. I use it for little laughs if it ain't that funny, HOWEVER if it's really funny I use LMAO-laugh my **** (bottom) off

Sometimes I actually laugh out loud..other times I'm just letting them know what they were chatting about was funny.

Sometimes both for me. Plus it's easier than writing, "I'm laughing out loud now."

When I write lol, I don't actually laugh out loud, but I write it when I find something funny. Who would understand LQ (laughing quietly) anyway? :)

I sometimes take it as the other person had some fun reading the statements on a particular situation.

I do. I love to laugh. I really do, sometimes it's funny becuz I'll just start laughing and my co-workers think i'm crazy.

No, "lol" is actually the sound they're making. It's really funny when a person goes "lololololo." LOL
