That would be acting in a penny pinching manner. Being a niggard would be a person who is cheap.

Niggardly is the adjective form of the word. A niggard is the person who is niggardly.

Would that be an adverb or no? I hate grammar.

I find it refered to as both adverb and adjective depending on where I look. I think there's a lot of overlap between those two things though. Probably depends on context. I see niggard itself listed as a verb as well. So which is what seems very dependant on its usage and context.

English is complicated at best.
