A.) Gandalf, and the other Istari (Saruman, Radagast, etc.) are indeed not human. As far as I know (just finished the Silm), they never say just what the Istari are, except that they are indeed non human. It is implied that they are Maiar (lesser gods).
B.) the Istari were put on Middle Earth to help the fight against Sauron and the ring not so much to do good as to restore the balance that "God" originally intended. Given that, plus Gandalf's seeking cousel from Saruman, the leader of the Istari, would make Gandalf Neutral Good.
...then again, I could be relapsing into idiocy, which would make me wrong, wrong, wrong...
