Some applications are legal and some are illegal. The ones that involve piracy (such as usb loaders) are illegal.

No. Provided no copyrighted software is used. Using Homebrew to play games you do not own is illegal. Using it to play backups of games you own is legal (in most countries).

They are'nt. They're just made to play the system games, and possibly emulate the whole system. Emulators is made to those who cant afford the system, likely.
