All the planets in line with each other?

No. Almost never happens. Depends on how well aligned you mean, occasionally all the planets will be within 45° (as seen from the Sun) or within a cone that has the vertex at the Sun and has an opening of 30°, this happens every decade or so. All the planets can never align less than 2° because the deviation from the ecliptic for some of the planets is greater than this.

What is unusual about the rotation of Uranus?

Unlike the other planets, Uranus' axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbital plain. All the other planets' axis of rotation are almost perpendicular to their orbital planes.So most planets can be visualized as spinning like tops on a table, where the table is the plane of their orbits. Uranus would be visualized as rolling on its side as it moves around its orbit.it spins sidewaysIt spins sideway.
