  1. What are these called in English?
  2. Are they same thing as "Gosh" or "Gee"?
  3. Maybe sounds of emotional changes?

These are called interjections.

In grammar, an interjection or exclamation is a lexical category used to express an isolated emotion or sentiment on the part of the speaker [...]. Filled pauses such as uh, er, um, are also considered interjections. Interjections are typically placed at the beginning of a sentence.

Gosh and gee are interjections, too.

+1 - Just for the record, they are also called Discourse Fillers (or maybe just Fillers I'm not sure now, but anyway, note that they are different from the Discourse Markers). – Alenanno May 7 '11 at 17:51

Er ... no, they're not. They are neither onomatopoeic, nor mentioned in that WP article. – Colin Fine May 7 '11 at 22:47
