Yes, an aristocrat would give serfs land in an agreement that the serf would protect the lord.
Most serfs lived on manors. These were farming estates that belonged to lords, and whose residents were mostly serfs. The serfs typically lived in a village or hamlet on the manor, in cottages. Some serfs were not agricultural and worked as laborers. They typically lived in cottages in villages or boarding houses in towns.
Serfs were slaves tied to the land and lord and nothing would free them. Freemen were peasants who had bought their freedom.

The cost of her campaigns, on top of the oppressive social system that required lords' serfs to spend almost all of their time laboring on the lords' land, provoked a major peasant uprising in 1773, after Catherine legalized the selling of serfs separate from land.

The Athens sent a contingent to help the Sparta put down a serf uprising. The Athenians started to side with the serfs, and the Spartans sent them home. Relations soured.
The Messenians. They were not slaves, they were serfs, that is they were required to farm the land and deliver half their produce to Sparta. When the Spartans went to war they took 7 serfs (helots) for each Spartan infantryman to use as light infantry support (and coincidentally reduce the risk of an uprising in the absence of the Spartan warriors). When the Spartans lost many warriors in ongoing wars, they recruited serfs a heavy infantry, and granted them freedom after satisfactory service.

Serfs did not have fiefs. They were bound to the soil and not allowed to leave it. The arrival of a new lord did not change this. Nevertheless, the serfs were largely free to farm as they pleased. The condition of the serfs was not slavery, but a different sort of thing governed by a sort of contract in which the serfs and the lords each had obligations to the other. The serfs had to pay rent in some form, labor, part of the crop, or money. For his part the lord had to provide a place to live, fields to farm, and protection in such difficult times as war or famine. The serfs were not allowed to leave the land, and the lords were not allowed to force them off of it. The serfs had reeves to organize them. The reeves were also serfs and were often elected by the serfs on a manor. The reeves decided how the serfs would be organized for their common labor, what fields would be tilled and what crops planted, and what parcels would go to which family for their own use.
There are no serfs in Russia today.
Serfs were barely above slaves themselves. I doubt any serfs ever owned slaves.
