It is a non-linear device.
No the base emitter circuit is not the same as a common base circuit. The three BJT circuits all have the base emitter circuit. Wheter each terminal is common to both inputs and outputs of the circuit determines the type of transistor configuration.Henry Lee Everson PE;229-560-9769
An emitter resistor in a common emitter circuit will cause the stage to experience the effects of degenerative feedback if it is unbypassed. The degenerative feedback reduces gain. This is probably the primary effect in the described circuit.

A: The ratio of emitter/collector resistance is the gain. by adding a capacitor on the emitter the AC parameters will shift as a function of frequency
The capacitor is called a bypass capacitor , it provides a low impedence path for AC emitter current to groun.
I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.
You can use an npn or a pnp bjt in a common emitter amplifier circuit. The decision of which one to use is based on whether you want the collector and base to be more positive (npn) or more negative (pnp) than the emitter.
Common base transistor if the emitter is open current Ie=0 but a small collector current thus exist.this current is reversed biased collector to the base voltage it is represented by Icbo while common emitter is d base terminal is open circuit and the base junction is reversed biased current Icbo flow from the tcollector to the emitter in the external circuit this current is called leakage current.
If a bypass capacitor is used the voltage drop across emitter resistance is reduced which in turn increases the gain.....
A capacitor has lower resistance (impedance) as frequency increases. Adding an emitter capacitor effectively lowers the emitter resistance as frequency increases. Since gain in a typical common emitter amplifier is collector resitance divided by emitter resistance, this decrease in emitter resistance will increase gain as frequency increases.
There are a number of characteristics found in a common emitter amplifier. Not only are the parameters considered, but also their performance. Characteristics and performance are: voltage gain/ medium; current gain/ medium; power gain/ high; input / output phase relationship/ 180 degrees; input resistance/ medium; and output resistance/ medium.
With a common emitter amplifier it's the emitter that is usually grounded.
