I am a Ballet Dancer and yes we do use props but not like big heavy ones more like ribbons and things of that sort.
sometimes. it depends on what kind of character you are. Princess: crown fairy:wand flower:stick with fake flowers on it ETC.
It is actually called a barre.
Ballet dancers use the barre for many things. Some of these things change as the dancer's level increases. But generally, the barre is used as a helper with balance and position. We also use it when we do certain stretches and to help with alignment.
Ballet is an art. It is done for the same reasons as other arts to convey statements or emotions. Ballet dancers are passionate for the dance and use it as a medium to tell a story.
A ballet slipper is a pale pink and sometimes leather shoe that dancers use in ballet.

Ballet dancers have died when performing in the past, this was due to the stage lighting. Before the use of electric lighting, gas lights were used. If a flammable object caught alight, dancers could and did burn to death. I am sure over time, props may have caused death when dropped on a dancer. Nowadays it is pretty rare for a dancer to die whilst doing ballet. They can sustain some very debilitating injuries, spinal problems, paralysis etc, but generally boney and soft tissue injuries, are the most common.
Many dancers use lamb's wool to cushion their toes in pointe shoes. Some dancers use gel toe pads, also. However some do not.
Ballet dancers observe a very strict diet to maintain their svelte figures.
I suggest that you try doing a compare/contrast exercise - make a table where down one side you have ballet & down the other you have modern dance - then look at key features, e.g. - footwear - modern dancers = usually barefoot, ballet = pointe shoes for females, ballet shoes for males. You should consider features such as music, themes, costume, use of props, set design, location of performance, gender, roles.... Hope this helps
