The player who hikes the football to the quarterback is called the Center. In a punting or kicking situation, the person who hikes to ball to the holder (the person who sets the ball on the ground for the kicker) is often referred to as the long snapper.

The quarterback is the root to an offense in football. He takes the ball from a center, who hikes the ball to him, and does whatever the play is. He can throw it, run it, hand it off, whatever he wants to do.

No, the exchange between the center and quarterback is not considered a pass in football terminology. It is known as the snap, where the center hikes the ball to the quarterback to start the play. A pass refers to a specific type of play where the quarterback throws the ball downfield to a receiver.
Every player's position is important. The center hikes the ball to the QB. No center, no hiking the ball. He's also the closest one to the QB, so if he doesn't block well, the QB would get sacked every time. The Center is responsible for calling the blocking assignments of the offensive line and spotting the key defensive players, usually the middle linebacker and, if they are playing up close to the line of scrimmage, the safeties.
Actually, it is called 'play action' or 'play action pass' and that is when the quarterback fakes a hand off to a running back and then drops back to throw the ball. It is also called a 'play fake'.
