Yes. It takes about 200 million years for the sun to go completely around the galaxy once.

The Sun and the planets are all moving in relative Unison to the barry center of our Galaxy at an aprox average velocity of 250 km/sec+- . The Barry center itself is not static in space but also is moving a 3 dimensional pattern.
As our Galaxy moves relative to its also dynamic barrycenter of the Universe it occupies different positonsand displaces volumes in space and also time levels. So that space density level and time levels affect the Gravity pressures which hold the Galaxy together.
It is presently calculated that The solar system would take about 200 million year of our present time level to complete one orbital around the the barry center of our Galaxy.
It would take at that time level rate ,2.976099931 x 10^18 seconds for the Universe to make one complete.rotation relative to its barry center.
How many rotation did the Universe experience during its Creation is just not understood by Scientists. Perhaps the Universe has never revolved and is moving at a different rate that at its initial Creation. Note per Einstein's Relativity time is not absolute, but is flexible (that means it can be bent =non-linear)

Yes and no.
We're moving through space in many ways. First off, we're rotating about our axis. We're also revolving around the Moon as it revolves around us (Earth and Moon revolve around a point part way from Earth's surface to Earth's core). We're also traveling around the Sun in orbit.
In addition to that, the Sun is moving in a certain direction through space in sort of a spiral pattern. We're in an arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, and the whole Galaxy is rotating.
Because of the last fact, you could say that yes, we are moving around the center of our galaxy.
Oh. The galaxy is moving, too. And, it's thought that space-time itself is expanding...

As I remember, our galaxy (the Milky Way) is a spiral galaxy and we are on one of the spokes of the galaxy. Yes, our solar system is rotating around the center of that galaxy.
(And "sig" - The Earth is the center of the universe, not the sun. EVERYTHING revolves around the Earth. You are a member of the Flat Earth Society aren't you?)

No.
Our Galaxy is shaped like a disk, 1500 Light Years wide and 1.5 Light Years Thick. It has a bulge in the center consisting of a mass of densely packed stars and dust. Radiating out from this central core of stars are a number of spiral arms made up of stars. Our Sun is located about 1/3 of the way out on one of those spiral arms.

No,
Our Solar system was ejected from the G-core and is moving radially outward. The G-core is turning`and ejecting new material from time to time. Thus the Spiral effect.

Yes, in a somewhat tilted orbit

The sun doesn't move, it is the center of our universe. The planets move around it.
