Yes, all organelles within the cell are bound by membranes that are all made up of the same basic structure but have different kinds of proteins within them that allow them to have a distinct cellular function. These membranes are always in exchange with one another as well, things called vesicles will bud off from one membrane and fuse with another to deliver things from one organelle to another. So for example the nucleus is bound by the nuclear membrane and the cell is bound by the plasma membrane. Parts of the plasma membrane can bud off to form a vesicle, basically like a bubble and can travel to the nucleus (or any other organelle) where it will fuse with the nuclear membrane (or the membrane of the particular organelle) and deliver its contents into the interior of the organelle or simply deliver new membrane to that organelle. There is an entire branch of scientific research that is concerned with understanding how this whole process works and how membranes bud and form vesicles and fuse, and what is contained within the different membranes of the different organelles, its called membrane trafficking. Hope that helps!

No a membrane is not considered an organelle. Membranes are what encapsulate organelles.
