What type of housing did pharaohs live in?
The Pharaoh's lived in grand palaces built by the peasants. While I'm sure that Pharaohs palaces was indeed on a much grander scale than other Egyptian homes they we not built by "peasants". They we built by artisans and craftsmen out of mud bricks the same as any other Egyptian home. The Egyptians used stone for religious structure that were intended to last forever. The peasants lived in "waddle and dab" huts, near the niles shifting shores. The pharaohs lived in nicely apportioned tents. One can find examples of afterlife chambers being carved to imitate the pharoahs tents, replete with tent poles. Given the amount of labor for stone work, it's use in Egyptian architecture remained the provinance of religious temples. Well... Pharaohs did not live in grand palaces, Artisans made gold and silver, and peasants were called slaves. Pharaohs did live in a nicer place, only the rich people had furniture, but unlike slavery we know it was better. Slaves lived in the homes of the Upper Class where they ate what pharaohs ate, slept in nice beds, and wore the same clothing.

Who would be in charge of the castle if not the King or Queen in medieval times?
The military commander of a castle was called a castellan. The castellan might also be the majordomo, running the civilian staff as well. In French the same position was called a Chatelain. In German the same position was called a Burgmann. If the question is who might otherwise posses a castle rather than a king or queen, then there would have been middle rank nobles who had a castle of some sort. While we tend to think of castles as elaborate stone structures, many were simpler. A more basic castle might be a simple stone keep with a surrounding wall, either of stone or or wood. Another basic castle style was the shell keep, which is a round stone wall, with wooden or stone structures built backing to the exterior wall, and with an open central courtyard.
