Albert Eientien said that the Earth moves because the space moves and not exactly what Newton said. Venus moves in the opposite direction, does it have different "part of space" that moves in opposite direction to that of the Earth? If not, how can Venus move this way?

Einstein never said anything like that. Einstein's explanation of space (actually space-time since they are inextricably linked) is that it is warped or curved by the presence of mass or of massive bodies like planets and stars. Venus's motion is an eliptical orbit around the sun. Any motion other than purely eleptical observed from earth's viewpoint would be the result of the differnt motions of earth and venus in relation to each other. Ever been driving along a highway (lets say going east) and see a plane in the sky ahead of you coming toward you (heading west)? The plane appears to be motionless for a time, as if suspended in the air. However, its apparent motion is the combination of your motion in one direction and its motion in the other. To a second observer who is stationary on the ground both your motion and the plane's motion would be different.

If space moves it's way, it doesn't mean that venus can't have it's on movement in opposite direction. It is a circular motion,after all. Venus is just a small part of space. Even if it stands, relative to earth it would seem as if it moves in opposite direction. Maybe the center of venus' rotation path moves along with space.
