Helium is an element (and therefore a pure substance)
yes
In theory it is a pure element. However, due the the cost of obtaining really pure helium, it is likely to contain trace amounts of other gases.
A mixture: The walls of the balloon are not made of helium, and helium itself never reacts with any elastomeric material suitable for constructing balloons.
Only a hot mixture of the same gases that are in the air you breathe.
A helium "balloon" is composed of two parts: the SOLID rubber balloon skin, and the GASeous helium. So the balloon part itself is a solid.
Helium is typically pumped into balloons because it is lighter than air and gives the balloon its ability to float.

No, it is a gas-solid mixture when view as a whole. It has a solid component (the balloon itself), and a gas component (the helium)

Helium gas is a pure substance
In a helium balloon- one that floats and rises to the ceiling it is elemental helium that is used to inflate the balloon. If you just blow into a balloon to inflate it then it is air inside the balloon which is a mixture of gases, principally nitrogen and oxygen (both elements). There are also other gases that are chemical compounds such as carbon dioxide.
Helium is a pure substance
Natural air is always a mixture, and more or less homogenous in its major constituents. However, if the balloon was inflated by mouth, it will have less oxygen and more carbon dioxide than the air outside the balloon, which is also a mixture.
Neither. Helium is not a mixture at all, it is a pure substance.

Helium is pure as it is on the periodic table.
