Then why are saying they're measuring "unemployment" when they're actually measuring underemployment? Words mean things and they're choosing the wrong words specifically in order to mislead.
Also, tracking poverty is more meaningful than tracking underemployment. There are millions of stay at home parents in this country who would qualify as underemployed, but who aren't in poverty because their spouse or possibly other family member supports them.
No you're not. It means you're removed from both the numerator and the denominator. By no means does it mean you count as employed; that would be silly.

It's sort of like how if you do not have a job and stop looking suddenly according to the data you're employed again.
