In the Church, the understanding of the word "saint" means one who is sanctified. Technically, all those in the state of grace, whether living or dead, are "saints" in Christ. To be precise, however, the formal understanding of the word refers to one who is forever sanctified, a state only possessed by those in heaven, for their wills are forever oriented upon God whereas the living may still choose to receive or reject God. St. Michael is in heaven, in the state of grace, with his will forever oriented upon God, thus he and all the angels in heaven are referred to as saints.
No, Saint Michael cast Lucifer and his followers from Heaven.
