    Ugh, this is THE hardest weed to get rid of in my book...best thing is to stay on top of pulling it up, making sure you get the root, bc it spreads BY root, and pull it up as soon as you can. its going to take a while to get rid of it all. Problem is by the time its big enough to pull it up, the roots have spread too. Its a tough battle. is it localized enough that you can try digging it up with a spade.
    Digging and using a selective herbicide are the best chances of controlling.

    It is, certainly, a type of grass. The way that it grows looks like, maybe, dwarf bamboo, or some similar cane type grass. It will be very hard to tell many grasses apart. One thing is for certain... You can safely prune these to your desired height with no damage to the plant. Grasses, no matter the type, tend to be pretty resilient to pruning, unless it is some specialty grass that is known to be finicky.

    Keep track of its growth, and send in more pics once it is larger, and/or flowers! This can help me to get a more accurate ID.

    I would always wait until spring, right before the new growth comes back. This will give you the best results.

    This will not be a concern as long as the grass does not have a tendency to spread. If this is the case, then it may not be an ecologically sound grass. This website will help you with the native grasses of your area: http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-10370_12146_12209---,00.html

    We do not usually recommend places to purchase, nor do we sell, but I will recommend places like Amazon, Etsy, or Ebay. Many sellers will have what you are looking for.

    Panicum virgatum is the variety.

    It would be hard to say without knowing your USDA zone. In the meantime, here are some articles that will help out: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/ornamental-grass
