If so what is the "coldest" temperature there can be?

Technically yes. Heat is really just how much atoms are moving/colliding and it is measured in Kelvin (K). The lowest temperature is Absolute Zero or 0 Kelvin. At this temperature all atoms would stop moving. Absolute zero is theoretical and has never been achieved in laboratory conditions.
0K = -273.15 degrees C = -459.67 degrees F
(I should not that some scientists will argure that there will still be some residule motion at 0K however no one knows because it has never happened.)

There is a temperature that no one can go below for any reason. It is about -273 Celsius. We have never been able to reach that temperature. We have been able to achieve several thousands above that temperature.
The more thermal energy is put in to the system the higher the temperature.

Yes, and the coldest temperature possible is 0 degress Kelvin.

It is true. The lowest possible temperature is -273.15 degrees celsius.
