No. The Milky Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the Universe. Just like there are billions of planets in the Milky Way Galaxy, there are also comparable numbers of planets in other galaxies.

No, the vast majority of stars are outside the Milky Way galaxy. However, most of the stars we can actually see as individual stars are in the Milky Way. About the only exception is supernovae ... those are so bright that we can distinguish them even in other galaxies.
