Yes, Saruman the White is a powerful wizard. As the Chief of the Order of Wizards (which was comprised of himself, Gandalf the Grey, Radagast the Brown, and the Blue Wizards Alatar and Pallando), he was only the second most powerful wizard in the Order. He also became the head of the White Council, which was a group of the chief wizards and elves, when it was formed in 2463. Unfortunately, he was corrupted by greed for the Ring and jealousy and resent of Gandalf, who he had realized was stronger and more powerful than he was, although more modest. Saruman turned from the White Council and became the right hand of Sauron.

There are many races in Tolkien's world - Men, Elves and Dwarves being a few of the more well-known.

Gandalf was none of them. He did not belong in Middle-earth. He was a Maia, an angelic being, sent from Valinor as part of a Company of five Maiar (called the "Istari") to help the Free Peoples of Middle-earth in the fight against Sauron.

He was above all beings that dwelt in Middle-earth in stature. In power, he may be only matched by Elf-lords and -ladies like Galadriel, Glorfindel and Elrond.

No, Saruman is not human. Saruman began his existence as a Maiar, which are lesser angels, created to assist the greater angels, the Valar, in their work. He was originally known as Curumo.

As the Valar do not directly interfere with the world, they sent five Maiar down to it, clothed in mortal form, these are the Istari, or wizards. They were sent to peacefully advise and guide the people to fight against Sauron, and were forbidden from ruling with force or to oppose Sauron directly. Curumo's new name was Curunir, and was later known as Saruman.

Yes, but he's special. His ancestor Elros Tar-Minyatur, first king of Numenor, was half elven. Half elves are not a race in of themselves, they are made to choose whether they become elves, or mortal men. Elros chose mortality, and became king of the greatest nation of man in prior history. His brother incidently chose to become an elf, and this is a more well-known character, Elrond. So Aragorn carries the blood of elves, blood of kings, he's a man but a unique one.
