Well- self harming is defined by if you inflict pain upon yourself purposely- if you injure yourself- it's self harm- it doesn't matter if it leaves a mark or not.

Self harm is any intentional harm to yourself. No scars or marks have to be left behind for it to be considered self harm (:

It is still considered self-harm, it's not about the marks left on your skin, rather the emotions felt behind it.

Yes because you still wanted it to happen, you still tried to harm yourself which can cause more self harming episodes

Yes, any self inflicted pain on yourself would be considered self-harm. It does not always have to result in a mark or anything left behind.

Yes, regardless of how permanent the damage done is, if you self-harm you self-harmed. I wouldn't worry so much about what the appropriate word for what you've experienced may be. Whatever is causing you the stress that makes self-harm an option is something you should address.
