Yes, because they are so far away that the distance between the apogee and the perigee (outermost and innermost) of our eliptical orbit is nominal and wont be noticed unless you have available some rather high tech optics and probably not even then.

Yes, the constellation stars are at least about 12 light years away and up to 10's of thousands of light years away. Our orbit is about a light day or maybe 2 in diameter. So the difference is miniscule. It's like looking at a tall building a few miles away and taking one step towards it, it will not change.

well if youve got a few million years free time to spend watching the constellations will change size and shape. Best of luck

They're so far away, that the relatively small change in our position makes no difference.
For exmaple, if you're 10 miles from a skyscraper, and then take one step toward, it would look about the same size.
