Jawless fish are included in subphylum Vertebrata, but most jawless fish do not have whole vertebrae. Hagfish, for instance, do not have vertebrae at all, and lampreys have only reduced vertebrae. So, no, most jawless fish are not vertebrates.

No. Stringrays are jawed fish. The only jawless fish alive today are hagfish and lampreys.

Rays are not sharks. However, both Rays and sharks are cartilaginous fish. This means they are more closely related to each other than to other types of fish.
