Yes, all the system's planets move in the same direction around the sun. Viewed from "above" (think of what we call North to be "above"), this is counter-clockwise around the sun.

Guys, he asked about how the move around the sun, not how they rotate.

Every planet's orbit revolves around the sun in the same direction, but not every planet revolves in the same direction. There are some which are retrospective. Every planet is a different distance from the sun so it takes longer for some planets to make a complete revolution.

Yes they go in the same direction around the sun counter clockwise.
No. They do not rotate in the same direction going around the sun.

No.
Their orbits revolve around the sun in the same direction, but if they are on opposite sides of the sun, then they are moving in opposite directions.
