Yes, homo sapiens is a primate species which means we're apes.

No, dogs are not wolves. They share 98% DNA, the same amount that we have in common with chimps.

During the time dogs have been domesticated they have changed greatly from wolves in many ways, and the differences between wolves and dogs are very interesting. Anyone interested can read a fascinating article here

These aren't bad either (and Nikai is adorable!)

Some say yes, I personally see birds as descended from and not dinosaurs, so I say no.

No, tetrapods are not fish, not even the same order, nor was the common ancestor like the fish we think of today

No, apes don't have tails and they live both in trees and on the ground, while monkeys have tails and primarily live in trees.
