No.

Yes. It's just the Education edition, which is essentially a volume-license copy.

It just means that your school has a licensing agreement with MS for a big pile of Edu licenses.
Its the regular OS, just a slightly different licensing model.

No more than any other Windows OS, social media account, or cellphone traffic.

There's always a chance. If the school installed a tweaked Windows 10 ISO that included any type of spying or tracking software, then sure. They could be looking in on you. If the school has forbidden you from reinstalling Windows 10 directly from a Microsoft ISO, there is likely a chance that they've installed a custom ISO that may or may not include spyware.

The point here is that you were given this operating system solely for the use of educational purposes. Anything outside of school work is likely to be frowned upon and should they wish to take action, they'd be completely justified in doing so.

While it is unlikely that anything like this is actually happening, it is possible. Your best course of action is to not do anything that isn't specifically allowed by your school.

Tom's Hardware does not support software piracy in any way, shape, or form. If you are concerned about what is happening on your PC, you need to purchase and install your own legitimate Windows license.
