Where did medieval nuns live?
Nuns have always lived in monasteries. They are sometimes called an Abbey, but the Abbey strictly refers to the Church, while "monastery" refers to the entire complex. "Monastery" can refer to a place where Nuns live, or where monks live. The archaic term for where Nuns live and work was "Nunnery."
What did monks and nuns do during the middle ages?
Generally speaking, monks and nuns lived in monasteries or convents, and did very much the same sorts of things other people did in terms of raising food, cleaning, cooking, and so on. They did not have families, but spent their time in prayer and devotion instead. Many monks and nuns worked at specialized jobs, and there was a wide range of these from tending the sick and making medicine, to making cheese or wine, copying books, singing in choirs, educating people, and providing inns for pilgrims and other travelers, protecting travelers on the road, and even fighting wars.

Did women run any abbeys?
An abbey is simply a building where monks or nuns live. Typically, they live in isolation from the world. Since an abbey could be home to either monks or nuns (but never both) than who ever the mother superior was would be in charge of running the abbey. Please note that even a mother superior would not be above even the simplest of deacons. They are not members of the clergy and have no authority over them, even if they are in charge of an abbey. The same is true for monks.
