Once Dumbledore got back to Hogwarts he went alone to get her, the 
trio actually sees her in the infirmary after the battle of MoM. 
Dumbledore *ordered* Fudge to fire her. When she was leaving in the 
middle of dinner, Peeves followed and hit her with MM's cane.

YES, Ginny in OoP says something about this, I can't remember the 
exact words but she said once Umbridge was gone he'll get his old 
place back.

The muggle Prime Minister does know about the witch world, Fudge told 
him in PoA that Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban and was extremely 
dangerous, Harry even heard about it in the muggle news, they did not 
say however he was a witch, they just said he was armed and 
dangerous. Death Eaters and Voldemort like killing muggles, it's like 
a past-time, so of course muggles have to be aware of them.... And 
no, they have no idea about the witch world, Arthur Weasley even says 
they couldn't tell magic if it was in front of them.

I hope this clear things up for you a bit.
