Yes, sometimes. Certain US District Court decisions can be appealed to the US Supreme Court on direct or expedited appeal, if the case involves a statute in which Congress specified initial appeals go directly to the Supreme Court, or if the nature of the case is such that it is important and will undoubtedly be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, anyway.
The normal route for US District Court cases is an appeal to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court over the District Court's Circuit, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court if a party is dissatisfied with the Circuit Court's decision.
Yes. Although the US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces is an Article I court, decisions may be appealed to the US Supreme Court (Article III).

The state Courts of Appeal review and render decisions on cases appealed to them from the lower circuits of the state court system. No actual jury trials are held at this level, they simply review the cases for legal sufficiency and render a verdict either affirming them or remanding them back to the lower courts for re-trial. State Supreme Courts hear all cases which have been appealed past the circuit court and appelate levels and - like the appeals court - no jury trials are held in front of them either although the opposing lawyers for both sides can appear and deliver their respective arguments. Cases appealed to the state Supreme Court have reached their highest level at this point and the State Supreme Court's decision is final and binding. Cases can move out of the state courts system into the Federal court system ONLY if the case involves or contains some over-riding interest in, or conflict with, Federal law.
There are various steps that lead to a Supreme Court hearing. First of all, the case begins in the lower courts. If unhappy with the decision reached in this court, the case can be appealed before US Court of Appeals. If this doesn't go well, the defendant can request a rehearing or petition the Supreme Court. A petition of certiorari has to be filed, this will ask the Supreme Court to hear the case. At this point, the Court will either agree to hear the case, or reject it.

the bomb blew up and everyone died
The U.S. Supreme Court would not be involved unless the case had already been decided and appealed. For instance, the Mirandadecision came from the Supreme Court because a man wasn't told his rights when he was arrested as dictated by the constitution so the court ruled. It would have to be something along that line.However, the New York Supreme Court is the state's trial court (which would handle a jewelry robbery). If you're doing a crossword or something like that, I'll bet that's what they are referencing.

Decisions reached by the Supreme Court under the leadership of Chief Justice Earl Warren ruled against malapportionment in state legislatures, voided state statutes that permitted school segregation, expanded the rights of criminal defendants, and increased protection for First Amendment freedoms.
It depends on what kind of business it is. Usually, investors have the upper hand on any decisions made (e.g. 'money talks').
