Only in that a hugger infects a victim; but the victim doesn't become a Xeno like a Flood victim turns into a Flood creature.
Facehuggers are creatures that infect a person with a parasitic larva that eats it way out of the host; like how some wasps infect other bugs with their own larva that kills the host on leaving.

No: It goes Egg - Facehugger - Larva - Drone/Praetorian/Queen.
To quote Alien vs Predator: Prey: A face hugger is more or less an ambulatory penis that impregnates hosts with a new baby Alien. Once they put the larva in a body, the Hugger dies instantly.

No, Shock.
Infection forms are parasites that shove themselves into a body-alive or dead-and take control of it, eventually mutating it into something more suiting of them. (Combats and carrier forms)
Pure forms are masses of Flood biomass, only really encountered after the Flood have become sufficiently advanced. (Stalkers, Ranged, and Tanks.)
After the creation of the Gravemind, he is the only consciousness throughout the Flood. They are a literal hivemind. Even other Graveminds share the same consciousness.
Meanwhile, Xenomorphs are more like real life insects.
The Facehugger is the direct offspring of the queen. They contain an 'egg' of sorts that they implant into a living host. After combining with the host, it takes on parts of their DNA and grows like a literal child. (Except much faster and a lot cuter than a human baby.)
Then we get the chestburster, which rips its way out of the host and grows into adulthood, where they become obedient to the queen that spawned the initial facehugger.
Above them within the hive are Preatoran (Elite guards), the Queen, the Empress, and the Queen Mothers. They are all individuals, but the latter three have a sort of psychic link to lesser Xenos. Also, unlike the flood, these are more-or-less always around, no matter what stage of advancement the overall hive is at.
Also, unlike flood, the Xenos have 'Hive Wars' where multiple hives will fight for dominance.
