A lamprey is actually a parasite. Yes it feeds on fish, both tissue and blood, but it doesn't kill the fish. That would be counterproductive because they would have to find some more food, and lampreys are not good swimmers.

No. Lamprey actually belong to a group of animals known as Agnathans, meaning "no jaw". This is a group of jawless fish that also includes things like hag fish.
