Um, ya i think they went behind enemy lines and "overheard" what was being planned so that they could report it to their side so that their side knew what to do for their next action
Actually, that's sort of right. Spies would either change their identity and pretend to be from either the south(confederacy) or the north (union). Women spies would charm the navy men into telling them their secrets. Men had a harder job trying to be spies. Men had to be good at lying and just make them say it out loud on accident.
Yes, and children were spies as well, even more common than adult or teenage spies. They were less conspicuous as they could simply run around the military camps and listen in on plans the enemys were making.
