Yes. The United States has a dual court system that consists of both federal courts and state courts because the federal government and state governments are separate entities.

Federal courts generally handle matters related to Federal Laws, US treaties and the US Constitution.

Each state is governed by federal laws, but also has an independent government with its own constitution, laws and local ordinances, and the right to enforce them. The state court system processes cases that arise under their jurisdiction (authority) and ensures defendants and litigants receive due process under the state statutes and constitution, as well as under the US Constitution. The federal courts don't have a right to hear these cases unless they also involve federal or US constitutional law.
yes. The Constitution gives Congress the power to create whatever courts inferior to the Supreme Court it thinks are needed. States also have the power through their constitutions to create 3-branch governments having jurisdiction only within a single state, one of the branches being courts.
