Hobit, Chief of the Inquisition (Inform me of heretics) No, Pippin was no knight. He was more like an esquire or page in the service of the Steward. He was never called a knight, though he did wear the garb of the warriors of Minas Tirith.

And no, men-at-arms are not just dismounted knights (in fact they are usually mounted). From Wikipedia:

"The terms knight and man-at-arms are often used interchangeably, but while all knights equipped for war certainly were men-at-arms, not all men-at-arms were knights." Aragorn said that Pippin was a knight of Gondor
