Another galaxy? What other galaxy? The sun is orbiting our galaxy (the Milky Way).
The Milky Way galaxy is orbiting the common centre of gravity of the Local Group of galaxies (along with Andromeda, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 3 dozen dwarf ellipticals).
The Local Group is orbiting the common centre of gravity of the Virgo Supercluster.

The sun is also rotating, and traveling across the Milky Way galaxy at 500,000 mph, and the galaxy is spinning and moving, so we're going places.

More than likely, but I don't know of anywhere that this can be proven. Most Astronomers are just concerning themselves with other planets and stars. Nasa.gov is a good site to look around and answers a lot of questions pertaining to this type of subject. Hard to believe that the Universe is so big, it would be hard to imagine that everything doesn't just revolve around something else isn't it?

The Sun doesn't move. The Sun is in the center of our solar system and the eight planets revolve around it.

Yes maybe our galaxy is circling another greater galaxy.
