They can see your IP but they can't see what you're doing on the net... your ISP can do that though.
Concerning IP adresses, that's how computers connect. For example, a URL is just a "nick name" for an IP adress.
Try this as an example: Go to the start menu, open "Run". Type "ping yahoo.com". You'll see yahoo.com's IP adress.

IP address (your computers own personal address) can be tracked by any website. If you are paranoid, use a proxy.

Maybe you should consult a Psychiatrist about this matter. Get some counseling & medications also!
