Zealot, Vigilante or Avenger for Peace? (Parshas Pinchas 2012)

"Zealot" (Webster): "A fanatical partisan" / "an excessively zealous person; a fanatic" Vigilnante: "a person who takes the law into his own hands avenging a crime" Nothing really very complimentary!

Yet The Almighty calls Pinchas an "Avenger" who's zealousness restored tranquility to the Jewish People, saving them from calamity! In gratitude Hashem gifted Pinchas "Brisi Shalom" a covenant of everlasting peace and... the Priesthood of Kehuna forever!

QUESTIONS:

~ What determines when a Zealot is a fanatic or a persuer of peace? A vigilante or an avenger?
~ If Moshe and his Sanhedrin didn't know what to do with Zimri, how was Pinchas so sure?
~ Wasn't Pinchas' great grandfather Levi chastised by Yaakov for avenging Dina in Shechem?
~ Why was there no need for a (anointing) process to inaugurate the new Kohen: Pinchas?
~ Finally, how is it that Pinchas' descendants (380 of whom were Kohanim Gedolim!) can proclaim the barcha "you have sanctified us with the Kedusha - holiness of 'Aharon' " when in fact Pinchas' holiness was independant of Ahron's Kedusha - as it was only a gift now from Hashem, after Ahron was already established as a Kohen?
