Somewhat! Although there have been the most reported attacks involving Great White Sharks they do not like human flesh. If the great white shark does attack it is normally only a test bite, meaning there senses are impared and they bit the human to see if it is indeed their food. However most shark attacks are not deadly. There are 66 reported great white attacks in the last two centuries and only about 6 of them were deadly. So to answer your question no, not if you know how to act around them but if not then maybe.

It matters what they are near. If they are near prey, yes they are aggressive, they have to kill the prey. If it's toward a human not as much because most of the time when there is shark attacks by a great white it is caused by confusion from the great white shark. The think that you are the prey that they eat, so when they bite you and realize that you are not a seal or a dolphin they leave. So generally they are not aggressive towards humans.

Fairly. Not as much as bull sharks, but still a very dangerous species.
