in a way yes, in a way no. if you are talking about a windmill GENERATOR, then yes it is a generator. however, it doesn't have to be a huge white thing in the fields. as long as it has a generator connected to it, it is considered as a generator.

hope i have helped

Pretty much what it says.

The wind blowing on the blades of the windmill makes the windmill turn. This turning then makes the generator spin. And the generator then produces electric energy.

Yes. You can't get energy out of nothing - the windmill is designed to take advantage of the wind energy.
