Yes. The Bible refers to angels hundreds of times and indicates that hundreds of millions of angels were created, and all of them are powerful.—Psalm 103:20. They existed long before humans were created, even before the creation of the earth.
Two angels helped the righteous man Lot and his daughters to survive the destruction of the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by leading them out of that area. (Genesis 19:15, 16) Centuries later, the prophet Daniel was thrown into a lions’ pit, but he escaped harm and said: “My own God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions.” (Daniel 6:22) In the first century C.E., an angel freed the apostle Peter from prison. (Acts 12:6-11) Moreover, angels supported Jesus at the start of his earthly ministry. (Mark 1:13) And shortly before Jesus’ death, an angel appeared to Jesus and “strengthened him.” (Luke 22:43)
Angels no longer appear visibly but they still protect people, especially from anything spiritually harmful. “The angel of Jehovah is camping all around those fearing him, and he rescues them.” (Psalm 34:7)

They are also angels that are our enemies. Satan and his demons.

Yes. They are those spirits, once human themselves, who are far advanced in their development such that they no longer need to come to earth and inhabit flesh bodies in order to learn earth lessons. Other elevated spirits are often referred to also as angels. Some of this lower group interact with us as Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels.

From: 'The Spirits' Book'

FIRST ORDER — PURE SPIRITS
First Class — Pure Spirits

General Characteristics — The influence of matter, null; a superiority, both intellectual and moral, so absolute as to constitute what, in comparison with the spirits of all the other orders, may be termed perfection.

Spirits of this order have passed through every degree of the scale of progress and have freed themselves from all the impurities of materiality. Having attained the sum of perfection of which created beings are susceptible, they no longer have to undergo either trials or expiations. Being no longer subject to reincarnation in perishable bodies, they enter on the life of eternity in the immediate presence of God. They are in the enjoyment of a beatitude which is unalterable, because they are no longer subject to the wants and vicissitudes of material life; but this beatitude is not the monotonous idleness of perpetual contemplation. They are the messengers and ministers of God, the executors of His orders in the maintenance of universal harmony. They exercise a sovereign command over all spirits inferior to themselves, aid them in accomplishing the work of their purification, and assign to each of them a mission proportioned to the progress already made by them. To assist men in their distresses, to excite them to the love of good or to the expiation of the faults which keep them back on the road to the supreme felicity, are for them congenial occupations. They are sometimes spoken of as angels, archangels or seraphim. They can, when they choose to do so, enter into communication with men.
