Jupiter revolves around the Sun in a manner similar to the Earth, which is counter-clockwise as viewed from the arbitrary "north" or "above" the ecliptic plane.
Jupiter, however, is much farther out than Earth, with an elliptical orbit ranging from 740 to 816 million kilometers from the Sun. It takes about 11.86 Earth years to make one complete orbit.
All the planets orbit counter-clockwise when observed from the north.
Currently Nov 2010 - Jupiter can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere SSE moving towards the South as the night progresses.

Jupiter is a planet, like Earth. Where it actually is in the galexy is in an orbit around the Sun. Where it would appear to us (what direction from Earth) keeps changing as both Jupiter and Earth orbit the Sun; so where it appears relative to the stars will depend on when you are looking.
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.

No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Jupiter's moons orbit the planet of Jupiter. The moons of Jupiter are (in order by their distance from Jupiter): Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede (the biggest), Callisto (the second biggest), Leda (the smallest), Himalia, Lysithea, Elara, Ananke, Carme, Pasiphae, Sinope, and many newly-discovered moons that haven't been named yet.
