The Earth is currently headed away from the nearest dwarf star and won't start heading back towards it until about the beginning of July. However, there's no danger of a collision any time soon; we've been orbiting it like this for about five billion years. (The nearest dwarf star is, of course, the Sun.)
There are other dwarf stars "headed towards" Earth in the sense that they're getting closer to us, but again, there's no danger of a collision in the foreseeable future; none of them are headed directly towards us, and the distances involved are so large compared to the relative speeds that the Earth will have become uninhabitable long before any of them could get here even if they were headed directly at us.
No. It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for that to have happened yet.
I guess yes - but not precisely.All the stars in the Andromeda galaxy are heading towards the Milky Way Galaxy
NO!!
It is not old enough. It is estimated that it would take trillions of years for a white dwarf to a black dwarf. The universe is only about 13.8 billion years old.
Not necessarily. Blue stars are short-lived compared to other stars, so they can never be very old, but a red dwarf star can be any age.
A few weeks ago, scientists announced that there were probably three times more stars in the universe than they had previously believed. They didn't "discover" any new stars; they came to believe that there were far more tiny, dim brown dwarf and red dwarf stars than they had thought.
Only one star has any effect on Earth. The sun is the source of the heat and lightwithout which there would be no life on Earth. None of the other stars has any effect.

None that are known. Earth is the only place in the universe known to have life and it is highly unlikely that any of the dwarf planets in our solar system have any life.
No. Dwarf planets, or terrestrial planets like Earth or Mars, are too small to have ring systems.
We don't think there are any black dwarf stars yet. There hasn't been long enough for them to cool to the "black" stage. When there has been, then presumably some of them will have satellites.
Earth's axis has zero effect on the stars and constellations. They aren't related in any way.
