Yes, looks like one to me

yes

remember all parts of the yew are poisonous, except the red bits of the berries (the seeds are)

Yes , they respond very well to hard pruning and will grow back into whatever shape you trim them to. Slow growing but not glacial

So that explains the horrendous rash and itching when I'd pruned them!
