These compounds are called amines.
The class of compounds that contain the amino group is called amines.
Amino acids

Molecules are able to have multiple functional groups. For example, an amino acid contains both the amino group -NH2 and carboxyl group -COOH.

Yes
The carbonyl group (CO) contains carbon but not the amino group (NH2) which contains nitrogen and hydrogen.
The carbonyl group exist in ketones, aldehydes, esters etc.
NO!!! Amino acids are definitely ORGANIC molecules. Here is one possibility of an amino acid/ H2N-CH2-CH2-COOH. It named as an amino acid because it contains an acid functional group (COOH) and an amine functional group (NH2).
The amino group of an amino acid contains the elements Nitrogen and Hydrogen. By itself, it is not toxic to cells. But after deamination where the amino group is removed from the amino acid, the amino group is then converted into ammonia. Ammonia is toxic to cells, and also contains Nitrogen and Hydrogen, but it has a different chemical formula from the amino group.
