No they are not. They are what you would call "straight edge".
it was started in the 80's by a Washington d.c. punk/hardcore band called minor threat. listen to: "straight edge" by minor threat. however, the x's came from the venues, at the time, were pubs and anyone underage would be marked with an "x" on their hand. eventually people started doing it themselves and some still do today.
To say that Minor Threat "claimed edge" is a bit misleading, as straight edge didn't exist until they started singing about it. The term comes from their song "Straight Edge," released in 1981, which spoke out against drug use. Their 1983 song "Out Of Step" includes the lines "(I) Don't smoke / Don't drink / Don't f**k," which became the three principles of straight edge. Check the related links for more information.
Straight Edge Superstar refers to CM Punk's character and lifestyle. It basically means no alcohol, tobacco or drugs of any kind. It was started in the 80's by hardcore punk band Minor Threat with their song "Straight Edge."
"Straight-edge." The term was coined by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat (who founded the Straight-Edge movement). Not all straight-edge people have the same beliefs, but, generally speaking, most straight-edge punks are against people taking any kind of drugs -- including prescription drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes.

No.
No. But there are straight edge "groups" that are a lot like gangs. But no, straight edge itself is not a gang, and a straight edge person is not a gang member.
A straight edge is used for making perfectly straight lines when drawing. The straight edge is placed on the paper and you use the edge to draw against.
A ruler has markings, a straight edge does not. In "straight edge and compass" constructions, you are not allowed to mark the straight edge. Things that are impossible using only a straight edge and compass are possible if markings are allowed (for example, it's possible to trisect an angle using a marked straight edge).
