Super clusters do not have defined boundaries, not a defined shape. A ballpark figure would put the diameter at about 100 million light years, but extending to about 250 million light years at the extreme.

What is the Milky Way orbiting?
There is no larger rotational group for galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy, as part of the Local Group, are moving generally in one direction, toward an unidentified central mass in the direction of the constellation Centaurus. (This may be a gravitational effect of the Shapley Supercluster.)
