Hello.I downloaded the entire blockchain (600 gigs) and completed it. I chose the node type pruned, because I had no free space on the hard drive. And I think I am a node now.
Screenshot of bitcoin core status:

1- Should my port be on 8333? I don't know what my current port is. Given that I am now a pruned node, do I need to be on port 8333?
2- If I want to be a full node in the future, should I be on port 8333?
3- What is the difference between being on port 8333 and not being on port 8333?
4 - What is the difference between full node and pruned? Is full node good and does it help the network more? Is pruned worthless?
5 - I read this on bitcoin.org:It's common for full nodes on high-speed connections to use 200 gigabytes upload or more a month. Download usage is around 20 gigabytes a month. Is this for full nodes on port 8333 or all full nodes? How much is the consumption of pruned nodes?
i visit
https://bitnodes.io/#join-the-network and After clicking the check node option on the site, I received this error:
(My IP:8333 is unreachable)
I did everything mentioned in the links below:

https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#port-forwarding and

I'm sorry it took so long.
thank you very much ❤️
