Lower enlisted junior enlisted by rank (pvt, pfc or spc) nco is not a grade. E-1 thru E-9 are grades
You should be in the pay grade of E-5 thru E-7 (enlisted) and officer any grade. E-7 and above are Senior Non-Commissioned Officers not E-6s in the Army.
No. No Warrant Officer is a field grade officer. Actually a CW4 receives the same priviledges as a field grade officer. My husband is a CW4 and when applying for on post housing, we can not be placed in company grade house, it must be field grade. It is the same for w4 and w5.
WO2 (Warrant Officer 2nd Grade) - WO1 (Warrant Officer 1st Grade) - CWO (Chief Warrant Officer).

Specialist 5 - it's a discontinued Army rank. A Specialist got the same pay as a Sergeant (also pay grade E5), but was not a noncommissioned officer.

Specialist is a rank - Pay Grade E-4 - which is classed as lower enlisted. Pay is equal to that of a Corporal, but Corporal is the higher rank of the two (Corporal is a noncommissioned officer rank, Specialist is not).
Yes, for the United States. In order of rank from highest to lowest is Commissioned Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs or Sergeants are "enlisted"), and then the remainder of the "enlisted" service members.

Below.
Pay Grade E-4 (enlisted 4), the lowest rank of a noncommissioned officer (NCO), the same as a corporal in the US Army or Marines. Just above Seaman and below Gunners Mate 2nd Class. Its a type of Petty Officer. The Navy's system is a combination of "rating", (here Gunners Mate) and "rate" (here, Petty Officer 3rd Class) and they are combined into "Gunners Mate 3rd". Petty Officers in the Navy have specialized training, and there are a large number of rates, each with its own special insignia. All Petty Officers wear a sleeve insignia showing their rating and rate. At the top is an eagle, above the insignia of their specialty - for a gunners mate, two crossed cannon. Below that are upside down chevrons (compared to the way an army or marine sergeant wears his). One chevron below is 3rd class, two is second, petty officer first class.
