The feature you see in the night sky which we call the "Milky Way" is the view through the center of our galaxy, also called the "Milky Way Galaxy." Our solar system is on the edge of the galaxy's disk.

Yes.
A Galaxy is a system of about 100 billion stars. Our Sun is a member of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is sometimes just designated by capitalization: Galaxy. There are billions of galaxies in the observable universe. Exactly when and how galaxies formed in the Universe is a topic of current astronomical research.

Yes. A standard spiral galaxy. Only noticeable difference between it and any other spiral galaxy is that the Milky Way has Earth in it.

Yes, a barred spiral galaxy containing about 100 billion suns. The nearest large galaxy from us, the Andromeda Galaxy, contains about 200 billion suns. You get the feeling we're not where it's at? Location, location, location.
