A prophet was a person who was inspired of God to carry a message to the world or perform some task God had for them. Prophets did not choose themselves, but were choosen by God. They may have been humble shepherds, or they might have been kings. They were not angels, and they may not have been particularly intellectual. They are good and righteous men, with a love of God and their fellowmen.

It really depends on the religion you are refering to. But personally I believe jesus was a prophet and nothing more. It's just an intellectual human being set out on a heartfelt mission to have their faith heard in a serious manner. Sadly it is not always listened to.

Yes Prophets were just regular people who were chosen in the beginning to teach the people and were then called to the position due to their strong faith in God and his son Jesus. However most were not looked upon during their own life time as great men of God, but were later looked on as great leaders of God. As you find in the Old testament they were often ridiculed and incarcerated in their own time. Often having to escape from death by hiding.

They were simply humans. Some highly educated and kings' councellors like Isaiah, Nathan, and Daniel, others more humble shepards, farmers, fishermans, for example John.

Yes prophets are ordinary people. Heavenly Father may chose the least among us.

True prophets are "inspired" by God. They are not angels, they are people. An angel can be a messenger to a prophet.

Yes the Prophets(PBUT*) were nothing but humans and some of them could perform miracles by ALLAH's(SWT) leave.

Yes, but they had divine powers instilled in them to show what faith can accomplish.
