I'm confused, is Kayako possessed by the Grudge or something like that, because of the evil spirits her mother fed her as a child? Is the Grudge just using Kayako's body to manifest in our world?

Kayako created the grudge with her hatred and rage and pain, and the evil spirits bit is absent from the original Japanese versions. I think that dynamic just exists to make it more plausible for Western audiences to believe that she would be turned into an omnipotent vengeful spirit if she had some hidden dark power living in her rather than just being a house wife who took too much shit and became a super-onryo.
