Yes, the onion doesn't have an ovary, a major characteristic in fruits, but is a bulb. And since any leaf, taproot or bulb of a plant we eat is a vegetable, onion fits in that catagory

Yes it is.
Genus: Allium
"Members of the genus include many valued vegetables such as onions, shallots, leeks and herbs such as garlic and chives. A strong "oniony" odor is characteristic of the whole genus, but not all members are equally flavorful."
