Log in to my Debian machine through SSH remotely using a regular user account (not root). I type in “mysql –u root” and it logs me into mysql as if I were root. It doesn’t ask me for a password AT ALL, and I have root privileges, this means that any user with an account in that system can log on to mysql as root by typing the above command. What is it that I should be doing to fix this?

This is normal behaviour, the default password for the mysql root user is empty.
You have set up proper privileges yourself, here's how:
