Pirates were sailors who stole from others. They sailed on ships and not lived on them. Ship life was hard. There was no beds or bunks, no cooking, no washing, no bathrooms. The crews on ships were often very rough men. When they were in port they were off the ship.

Not usually. Pirates were sometimes given ships by governments that wanted to hire them, sometimes they were wealthy enough to have ships built for them, sometimes they just commandeered other ships.

They did not pose a threat to the US proper, but they did pose a threat to US shipping, and to the shipping of other seafaring nations. They were capturing ships, stealing their cargoes, and selling the crews and passengers into slavery in North Africa.
