Meaning when someone searches for another site your site is also shown since you probably have similar content! This is a good thing!

When someone searches for the specific term your word shows up. Must mean your website is relevant to that other company.

Traffic is traffic and its great if you are stealing your competitors traffic.

Good Job : )

All the keywords related to your site only will show in google analytics and not other site keywords.Search engines crawls your site and find your site keywords and visitors search using those keywords only will shown in your google analytics.

They are words and phrases that REAL people use when searching Google and they then arrive at YOUR pages.

Whether or not you consider them as "keywords for your site" they are what REAL searchers use to arrive at your site.

THIS IS what using analytics tools is all about, not simply counting visitors, these keywords and possible variants of them are what you should be optimising and promoting for, because it is what real people are using. This data is utterly invaluable as it is FAR, FAR more accurate than any of the keyword research tools.

ditto. I'm always using GA to see what searchers are keying in. Sometimes, I optimize a page in what I think is best, but come to find out, searchers are using some other KWs that are finding my page. I then optimize to what the searchers are keying in IF there are plenty of them keying in the same KWs that I haven't thought of.
