No. The vast majority of bacterial infections are not considered STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).

Conversely, STDs can be bacterial, viral (e.g. herpes virus 1 & 2, and human papilloma virus, as well HIV-AIDS), or fungal (candida = yeast infections, sometimes transmitted as an STD and sometimes not, as well as warts = verruca vulgaris).

You might be asking about bacterial vaginosis. Although having semen in your vagina can increase the risk of BV, the germs that cause BV aren't spread through sex, and treating a male partner of an infected woman doesn't reduce the risk of recurrence.

Yes, he could. I really don't know what cause this but you can ask your doctor. Anyone can have a bacterial infection.

Anyone can have a fungal infection.

Anyone can have a viral infection.

If you are alive you can have an infection. An infection is just you being "eaten" by microorganisms to facilitate their reproduction.

When you die microorganisms "eating" you is instead called rotting.
