Your local Secretary of State can answer your question, given the full name of the association.
As most home owners associations are written into the deed as a convanant there is no way out but to sell the property.
No, homeowner associations (HOAs) are not typically considered commercial businesses. HOAs are usually nonprofit organizations established to manage and maintain common areas, enforce community rules, and collect fees from homeowners for the overall benefit of the community. While they may engage in some commercial activities, such as contracting with vendors for maintenance services, their primary purpose is to serve the interests of homeowners and the community.
The right to privacy act does not typically address homeowner associations specifically. However, in the context of a homeowner association, the disclosure of legal actions taken by the Board of Directors against a homeowner for a violation of covenants is usually governed by state laws on homeowner associations and property rights, as well as the association's governing documents like its bylaws or CC&Rs. Homeowners should review these documents to understand their rights and the association's obligations regarding disclosure of legal actions.

Yes, elected board members on Homeowner Associations typically serve as volunteers. They are not usually paid for their service on the board. However, in some cases, they may receive certain benefits or reimbursements for expenses incurred while fulfilling their responsibilities.
Read your governing documents regarding minutes and owners' access to them. There is no standard; each association is different.
Community Associations Institute (CAI), a US-nationwide organization that caters to common interest communities -- HOAs, condominium associations and co-ops -- publishes that 70,000,000 Americans own this kind of real estate. That's about 21% of the population of 318,900,000 (2014). They do not tease out the different styles of ownership in order to give you a specific number for HOAs.
