Yes, it orbits the galactic center (as does everything else in the galaxy).

Yep. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy every 240 million years or so. And our galaxy orbits the center of mass of the local group, but only barely at that point - gravitational effects from nearby galaxies have a lot of influence as well.

Our sun orbits the galactic center of our galaxy. The Milky Way.

The sun is one of many stars in a galactic cluster. We are located way out in one of the arms. Whe are certainly moving fast, and one might be able to point at the center of the cluster, although the whole mess is also moving.

yeppers, in every moderate sized galaxy it is proven that there is a force at the center, astronomers think that it is a black hole

the sun is slowly being pulled around and into the black hole in the middle of the milky way.
