Not talking vegans here, just vegetarians.
yes its a milk byproduct so fine for veggies not for vegans
However it comes form cheese which may use animal rennet or "vegetarian rennet - which comes from cows anyway but it is then cultured.
I would check with the vegetarian society or the veggie you are planning on giving it to
TBH
Yeah, its not made from meat.
Yes, it's processed milk.
What about the materials used to separate the whey from the rest of the milk?
vegetarian society says it depends on the source of the whey as I thought

Vegetarian cheeses are manufactured using rennet from either fungal/bacterial sources or genetically modified micro-organisms.
Every day is a school day
Contact them they can probably tell you a proper veggie sourced one if you need to know

There is always pea protein if you really want to be safe.
Depends what your motivation is to be a vegetarian.
If it is animal welfare, then no.

"Distress to Young Calf & Mother
The harsh reality is that to produce milk, a cow must have a calf. To maximise production, each calf is taken from its mother within 24-48 hours of birth. Calves would naturally suckle for 6-12 months.
Separation is a distressing process as mother and calf form a strong maternal bond. Dairy cow husbandry expert, Professor John Webster described the removal of the calf as the “most potentially distressing incident in the life of the dairy cow”. Webster points out that “the cow will submit herself to considerable personal discomfort or risk to nourish andprotect her calf”6. Examples of this are cows that have escaped and travelled several miles to find their own calf after it has been sold on to another farm."
