The U-Bahn frankfurt is comparable with the Rijndam M1, M2 and M3 (just overhead wire everywhere)
So
It would fit.

Yes, which is a light rail line in American term.

Not really
Most lightrails have many parts on streets. Besides the U5 the U-Bahn frankfurt only drives on its own tracks. Due to this, our vehicles are allowed to be longer than 75 meters.

You don't know what what light rail transit is in America. The Frankfurt U-Bahn is considered light rail from an American viewpoint. Here, light rail transit is a form of rapid transit, not a streetcar which is it's own designation. For an example, look at Canada's Calgary light rail system or the US's St Louis system.

That’s correct
It is a Lightrail
but with the difference that it has more Subway / Metro sections and stations than usual lightrails. It should have even more Subway / Metro parts
but 💰

The reason for the name „U-Bahn Frankfurt“ is there for a reason.
It was meant to be a full U-Bahn network.

Which is very equivalent to why LA's light rail system is also branded as Metro Rail and not just the subway (Though when it was first developed, it was 2 different authorities that merged into 1 with the opening of the Red Line). It's all about politics and funding.

Like the Frankfurt U-Bahn, LA Metro's segments of rail is very diverse with street running sections but most of its segments a full rapid corridors completed with underground and aerial sections too. Grade crossings outside of street running zones are gated like a traditional railroad crossing in North America. Los Angeles is the American Frankfurt.

It’s still a bit different. Our Network is different to most other lightrail networks because it has only 6 stations on one line with street sections. The rest of the network is always on its own tracks, sometimes with crossings and sometimes like a real Metro / Subway. Frankfurt is branded U-Bahn because they wanted to build a real U-Bahn. The overground sections, which are partly over 100 years old, were meant to be replaced by underground routes. But like I said, Frankfurt didn‘t have enough money at this time.
