It can be, when it means confidential, or not public (e.g. private information, private property). Private is also a noun for a military rank.

No, it is either a noun (a military rank) or an adjective (secret, personal, confidential). It can also be an adjective that means "not governmental" (e.g. private enterprise).

No. It's a pronoun. The word "private" does not describe an action.
