No. Dolphins are under a group called Cetaceans (whales). Pinnipeds are an aquatic group under dog-like carnivores. Pinnipeds include animals like seals, sea lions, and walruses.

No, they are marine mammals. A primate has forward facing eyes and grasping hands; a dolphin doesn't qualify on either count.

Yes, but usually just one dolphin species, the orca or killer whale, which is in fact not a true whale, but the largest dolphin species.
