Question

considered Battle Damage?

Answer 1

Battle damage is the damage you or your opponent take when you have two monsters attacking each other. (An attack directly also counts for battle damage.)

Direct damage is damage inflicted by a card effect. This includes effect damage by monster effects, and is typically more difficult to stop.

Answer 2

A monster is in battle so i would think so

Answer 3

It's a Battle between your monster and your opponent's LP, so yes.

Answer 4

Yes it is and if a card effect does damage to you it is not considered battle damage it is considered effect damage.
