Answers:
They are called "fire ants" and yes you will be fine. You may want to put some topical benadryl on them to relieve the itch and if you notice your having trouble breathing or excess swelling go to the er. Contact a pest control company to rid the yard of these nasty pest.
Where do you live. They might be fire ant's and yes they do hurt like a sob.
probably it were normal ants, but it could also be orange like "firy ants"you could better do some spray or something on the wound, don't worry about it, it just stings a little and it will
be gone in about 1-3 days normally
You should be just fine as far as the bites go they will look like a bad pimple tomorrow. If you pop the bites you will get a clear fluid out. If by chance you start swelling any other than the bites you should go to the ER. My Daughter got bit by a bunch of fire ants once and she started swelling and was having difficulties breathing. They loaded her up with benadryl and sent her home. She was fine. So keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary and life should be good!

Good luck and so sorry you got bit! I hate ants!
what the... you've never gotten bit by an ant before?
