The rings were discovered from the Earth in 1977 when Uranus occulted (passed in front of) a star and it was noticed that there were dips in the brightness of the star before and after it passed behind the body of Uranus.
This data suggested that Uranus was surrounded by at least 5 rings. Four more rings were suggested by subsequent occultation measurements from the Earth, and 2 additional ones were found by Voyager 2, bringing the total to 11
So in answer to your question
Yes, 11 rings

Yes, there are. They are faint dark rings which orbit in the plane of Uranus' equator, which means they are oriented in an "up-down" direction, since the axis of rotation is tipped nearly 90 degrees.

Yes, but they are not the problem. It's the Klingons you have to worry about.
