The highest rank in the Coast Guard is the Commandant, who holds the rank of Admiral (abbreviated ADM) and is in pay grade O-10. Admiral rank insignia is four stars. Other admiral ranks include Rear Admiral Lower Half (RDML/three stars/O-9), Rear Admiral Upper Half (RADM/two stars/O-8), and Vice Admiral (VADM/one star/O-7).
That would depend on his paygrade and time in service. Rank has nothing to do with reserve status.
That rank has never existed in the Coast Guard. The highest rank in the Coast Guard is a four-star admiral referred to as "Commandant", just like the Marine Corps. The position and rank is currently filled by Admiral Robert J. Papp, Jr.

The Coast Guard uses the same rank structure as the Navy. Thus, anyone who wears the rank of Ensign, Lieutenant JG, Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Captain, or any Admiral rank, in considered a commissioned officer of the Coast Guard, and is also recognised by the rest of the Armed Forces as a commissioned officer, as well.
In the United States Coast Guard, the rank CD-R stands for Chief Damage Controlman. This is a senior enlisted rank, typically responsible for leading and supervising damage control operations aboard ships or shore facilities. CD-Rs are highly trained in firefighting, shipboard safety, and damage control procedures.
A "non-commissioned officer" an enlisted man with petty officer rank.
Whatever rank you hold as a reservist is recognised as such within the entire military. A reservist Sergeant outranks an active Corporal. However, there is a saying within the military - "stay in your lane". If the active soldier is not the jurisdiction of the reservist, then that reservist has no business getting in that regular's face and barking orders at them.
Pay is dependent on rank and time in service. While the majority of Coast Guard members don't make $60K right after school, it is possible.
