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.

My guitar amp is making an annoying whistling sound?
It's probably feedback. When you play a note on your guitar, it's picked up by the pickups and amplified by the amp. If you're too close to the amp, the pickups will pick up the amplified sound and it will get amplified again and again. Try moving farther away from the amp. If that doesn't help, make sure all the electrical connections in your guitar are connected properly (double check the output jack.)

What difference does the amount and positioning of pickups make on an electric guitar?
Everything from the number of potentiometers, wiring layouts, and pickup layouts will effect the sound of your guitar through an amp.

I am speaking generally of course, this is usually how any pickup sounds in these positions and armed with this knowledge allows you to select the correct pickups for each position.

rock and metal usually , but if you change the strings to a different type and play something more blues style you can make it do much more.
