Would you be considered vegetarian if you don't eat any meat, but still eat eggs?!
Answers:
Yes, you would. Most vegetarians still eat dairy products and eggs. They would be considered Lacto-ovo vegetarian (the "correct term").
Yes.
Because eggs aren't meat. They aren't fertilized... they're an expulsion, like milk. In western terms, a Vegetarian is an Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian, where as a Vegan doesn't eat anything produced by animals.
Eggs can be harvested ethically.
Eggs are fine for vegetarians. It's just all types of meat (including chicken and fish) that vegetarians avoid. Also, slaughter by products (gelatin, animal rennet, lard, etc)
