If your account usernames and passwords were taken, then it is possible your accounts have been compromised, but that phone is not being remotely controlled. I suggest you change your Apple ID password immediately. If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support

If you continue having issues, you would probably be better off contacting Apple Support and maybe getting a Genius Bar appointment if you have an Apple Store close by. They can help you understand things as well, much easier in person than typing back and forth here.
