It's a love story, so in that sense it is a romance. But it is not one of the set of late Shakespearean plays called "romances", sometimes called "tragicomedies", although it does have some elements in common with those plays.

No, they are totally fictional characters. Rather like an urban legend, their story was told and retold many times, each time with the claim that it had really happened to someone the storyteller knew, and each time with different details. In one, they do not live in Verona, and in some, they are not called Romeo and Juliet.

People sometimes point to the fact that there were two real families called the Montecchi and the Capuletti who were feuding, but the Capuletti did not live in Verona like the Montecchi did, so the plot would not work.

A metrical romance is a kind that deals with phases of life and it's emotions. Romeo and Juliet, Twilight, and stories like these are metrical romances.
