A "symphony" can have many definitions. It can be a musical piece or can signify a musical group. In the former, there are many pieces of music with the word 'symphony' included, not only for orchestra, but for other solo instruments such as the organ or piano. In that context, a 'symphony' could be played just about anywhere. In context of the latter, a symphony orchestra can also play almost anywhere be it a concert hall, a church, the home, outdoors ... anywhere.
Not really... although the terms are generally used synonomously, these days. An orchestra is defined as an ensemble of different families of instruments. So, that could include concert bands, big bands and the jazz orchestra (big band, 2 horns and strings), among others. A symphony is a specific musical form, usually played by a (fairly) specific ensemble. So, the term "symphony orchestra" is literally an ensemble capable of playing that kind of piece... thus the modern symphony orchestra. Generally, the term "symphony orchestra" is more specific, when talking about the classical ensemble.
