So are the Sunnis part of what we know as the violent Wahhabis?

I believe it's t'other way around. Wahhabis are a subset of the Sunni wing of Islam.

Most Wahhabis are on the Arabian Peninsula (Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.) Half of the Emiratis and Qataris are Wahhabists, and maybe a fifth of all Saudis are, too.
