No, "saw" is can be a past tense verb or a noun, depending on the sentence. For example in the sentence, "I saw the most beautiful butterfly yesterday," "saw" is the past tense of the verb, "see". In the sentence, "He used the saw to cut the limb of the tree," "saw" is a noun.

Yes, "saw" is a past tense form of the verb "see" and is not a helping verb. Helping verbs, also known as auxiliary verbs, are used in conjunction with main verbs to express shades of meaning or tense.
