The term "proof" has to do with how the coin was produced in the first place, rather than the condition of the coin.
A proof grade can not be given to a uncirculated (Mint state) coin. The term Proof is actually refers to a method of manufacturing, not a grade. But proof coins are identified by the by a prefix of PF before the grade and mint state are MS
No. Proof is a type of coin, not a grade. Most coins made are meant for circulation, but some are proof varieties, which are made with a slightly different process to make them much more shiny and are sold to collectors. The highest grade using the Sheldon Scale is MS-70. MS stands for mint state, and it's on a scale from 1 to 70.

PF-69 is not a value, it's a grade. But it does affect the value, the higher the grade the more value a coin has. A PF-69 coin is one grade below a "Perfect" proof coin.

By looking for wear. In practice, it doesn't matter what grade your silver eagle is, it will simply sell for bullion. The only thing to look is if your coin is proof or bullion. A proof coin will have mirror-like fields where you can see yourself like a mirror. An uncirculated coin may look shiny but it won't be nearly as shiny as a proof.
