Buying used guitar pickups is something you want to be really careful about. Unless you know the person selling the pickups, and the guitar it (or they) used to be on, it may not be wise to buy them. If the previous user is just changing them because he wants something different, that's one thing, but do you know why he is changing his pickups? Did one go bad for some reason? Unless you know about the condition and quality of the pickups, it may be best to spend the extra money on new pickups.

Do active pickups make a guitar squeal?

No. Active pickups will not make a guitar "squeal". If they make a guitar squeal, then you've done something wrong in the process of installing them, but I have no idea what would cause it to squeal. Unless you are talking about the technique used commonly in guitar-oriented rock, metal music. In which case, it has to do with your technique. If you just hit a note, it's not going to scream. If you hit an artificial harmonic and maybe throw in some action with a Floyd Rose (or other) locking tremolo system, then you'll get somewhere. EMGs (or other active pickups) require you to hear them for yourself and decide what you think. There are many passive pickups that will give you a load of treble response for those solos up above the fifteenth fret and for harmonics. EMG active pickups are NOT HOT at all. They are just extremely clear. Seymour Duncan Blackouts, on the other hand, are very very hot and will give you the absolutely insane distortion commonly found in the music made by Children of Bodom and Godsmack. I hope you weren't looking for a short answer.
