Values are approximate averages.
The Sun is 149.6 million km (93 million miles) from Earth (1 AU)
Mercury is 91.7 million km (57 million miles) from Earth (0.62 AU) Venus is 41.4 million km (25.8 million miles) from Earth (0.27 AU ) Mars is 78.3 million km (48.6 million miles) from Earth (0.52 AU) Jupiter is 624.4 million km (390.6 million miles) from Earth (4.2 AU) Saturn is 1.25 billion km (777 million miles) from Earth (8.5 AU) Uranus is 2.72 billion km (1.69 billion miles) from Earth (18.2 AU) Neptune is 4.35 billion km (2.7 billion miles) from Earth (29 AU)
All the planets move in orbits round the Sun. The orbits are technically elliptical but with low eccentricity factors so the orbits are nearly circular.
The distances are conveniently measured in astronomical units (AU) with the Earth's average distance 1 AU.
The distances to the other planets vary. Saturn is at 9 AU from the Sun, so its distance from the Earth varies between 8 AU when we are both on the same side of the Sun and 10 AU when we are on opposite sides. Mars is at 1.4 AU so its distance varies between 0.4 and 2.4 AU, a big difference.
All of the planets are different distances from Earth.

Yes. The four inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars and smaller than the four outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Earth is largest inner planet, and Neptune is the smallest outer planet. Neptune is around 14 times larger in terms of diameter than the Earth. The dwarf planets are all smaller than any of the actual planets.
Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake are the dwarf planets found so far. As you can see there are 5 now, not just 4.
There are 13 in total: Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Dwarf planets: Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. It seems likely that several other large objects, such as Sedna, Qaoar and others, will eventually be recognized as dwarf planets. It also seems likely that more dwarf planets will be discovered.
Yes. Besides earth there are seven other major planets and 5 recognised dwarf planets.

Our solar system has five known dwarf planets, so far.
No. Dwarf planets, or terrestrial planets like Earth or Mars, are too small to have ring systems.
No. They are in space.

Mars and Jupiter - and Ceres if you want to include Dwarf Planets
"Ceres" is in the "Asteroid Belt". The other four so far confirmed dwarf planets (including Pluto) are in the "Kuiper Belt".
