Beware for spoilers below if you haven't completed chapter 5 yet.

One thing I found a little puzzling is how was Guybrush in any real danger when LeChuck kept beating him up? He was already a undead zombie!
Then again maybe the game explained this and I just missed it?

He wasn't quite a zombie because his spirit was in his body. He had died, but came back to life again when his spirit entered his body, therefore his body was no longer dead, or undead. It just wasn't regenerated from being in the grave until Guybrush came back from the dead at the very end.

He's in no danger of being directly killed - if he was, falling from the crow's nest and being keelhauled would probably have done the job. The problem is that he can still be injured so badly that he can't move, and if he's helpless then he can't stop LeChuck.

I was under the impression that Guybrush was in a mortal situation. LeChuck was beating him up and enjoying the slow torture of his lifelong nemesis, but I felt like LeChuck did want to and was sure he could kill Guybrush at some point.

I never got the impression that he came back to life, he just possessed his dead body with his spirit.

I did understand that the situation was that Guyrbush was in real danger, the way he kept getting weaker as he was beaten more by LeChuck.
I just don't quite understand why he was in any mortal danger since he was a zombie. And I never got the impression that he was anything more than a spirit and corpse combined.

LeChuck meant to finish him the same way Guybrush did to Zombie LeChuck when he could but until then he was going to torture him as much as he could while Guybrush couldn't die by normal means, before killing him using voodoo. To make up for what Guybrush did to LeChuck when LeChuck was a zombie.

Well, too me it was kinda obvious you could tell from his voice that he was hurt badly.

Sounds plausible, would have been nice if the game stated this a little better tough.

For one, he could have simply disarmed Elaine and used the Voodoo Cutlass on him. Unfortunately for him however LeChuck is a sucker for the evil overlord list, and can always be counted on for sadistically drawing out the kill.

That still doesn't explain why Guyrbush obviously was in a lot of pain.
