The angel foremost in power and authority is Michael the archangel, or Jesus Christ. (Gods Son) (1 Thessalonians 4:16; Jude 9) Seraphs, cherubs, and other angels are under him.
Long before Jehovah God created humans, he made a multitude of spirit creatures. (Job 38:4, 7) In the Bible these spirits are called angels. (Hebrews 1:13, 14) God created all of them perfect—not a single one was a devil or had any evil trait. How, then, did the Devil come to be? The word “devil” means “slanderer” and thus refers to someone who tells malicious lies about others. “Satan” means “Resister,” or opposer. Just as a formerly honest man makes himself a thief by stealing, one of the perfect spirit sons of God acted upon an improper desire and made himself Satan the Devil. The Bible explains the process of self-corruption this way: “Each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death.”—James 1:14, 15.
This is apparently what happened. When Jehovah God created the first human pair, Adam and Eve, the angel who was about to rebel against God took note. He knew that Jehovah commanded Adam and Eve to fill the earth with righteous people, who would worship the Creator. (Genesis 1:28) This angel saw that there was a possibility that he could gain honor and importance. Motivated by greed, he coveted what rightly belongs only to the Creator—worship from humans. Instead of rejecting such an improper desire, this spirit son of God nurtured it until it gave birth to a lie and then to rebellion.

Ezekiel 28.14 says Satan was a cherub.
1Th 4:16 says the Lord is an Arch Angel.
Angel simply means that a sprit creature worked in the capacity of a messenger for God. It does not determine the actual position that the spirit creature holds in the heavenly arrangement.
Thus an Angel can be a Archangel, Cherub, Seraph or some other type not mention to man.

No, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jesus was ever Satan.
