The Baitoushan Volcano last erupted circa 1702 and has been dormant since. Record keeping was spotty, but it is said that it spread pumice in a 25 mile diameter and erupted 25KM into the stratosphere in it's +/-969 AD, one of the largest eruptions in 2000 years.
In general, an active volcano is one that has erupted within historic time. In regions where the historic record is very short (such as Canada), an active volcano is defined as one that has erupted within the last 200 years. Canada has one historically active volcano, Tseax cone. Its 1775 eruption killed an estimated 2000 Nisga'a First Nations people.

Easily. Volcanoes can kill in three ways. Obviously, if you are touched by the molten lava, it will injure or kill you. The volcanic ash can suffocate or bury you, such as happened at Pompeii in Italy, 2000 years ago. But the sulfuric fumes of a volcano can be quick poisons themselves. In 1904, Mt Pelee in Martinique erupted, and killed over 28,000 people. Also in 1883, Mount Krakatoa erupted. The death toll was unclear (measured over 36,000, but also over 120,000)
