Electrophilic and nucleophilic reactions
What determines if a reaction as a whole is electrophilic, such as an electrophilic addition reaction; is it based on the atom/molecule added to the larger molecule? Is there such a thing as a nucleophilic addition reaction?

Yes, in an electrophilic addition reaction, an electrophile is added to the main compound in the first step.
