No, it's a form of energy, specifically kinetic energy of atoms. Heat 
isn't measured in "photons". You seem to be confusing infrared photons 
with energy.

No. Matter is made of energy. (Actually, no, not really. But matter can 
be converted to energy and back again.) Light isn't energy, it's photons.

You seem to be confusing the concepts of "energy" and "light". A proton 
isn't made of photons (but rather quarks), but it can be converted to 
energy.
