Mt. Everest was not formed as a volcano, but is the result of movements of the underlying tectonic plates. Mount Everest was created by what is called uplift, which resulted when the Indian tectonic plate pushed into the Eurasian tectonic plate. And it's still happening. Everest is getting taller while you read this. The Himalayas were created by the Indian subcontinent drifting north and colliding with the Asian plate.
No, Mount Everest is not a volcano.

No Mount Everest is a mountain. It says "mount" in the word, it is the root word.
