Well, not really. There are solar flares, so things do change within the sun, but there is no land, no tectonic plates, and therefore no earthquakes in the way we understand them on Earth.

There are vibrations within the sun's interior causing the propagation of waves, the study of which is known as Helioseismology but as noted above they are not really comparable to seismic activity on Earth.

They do.
Usually, no. Earth is the only planet to have a molten core, which means it's Tectonic plates have something to 'Float' on and move around on.

On Mars for example, the core is solid, and there are no tectonic plates, which means earthquakes aren't possible.

Kinda-sorta.

Strictly speaking, only Earth can have Earthquakes. But similar things can and do happen on other planets.

No, weather does not start Earthquakes. The Earth is cut up into plates, underneath the top layer of the Earth. They are called Tectonic Plates. The Earth has 14 major tectonic plates, and 38 minor plates, for 52 plates total. These plates shift, (only about a centimeter a year) and when they do, it creates earthquakes.

No. Sunspots are a result of changes in the sun's magnetic field. Earthquakes are a result of shifting of Earth;s tectonic plates and other tensions originating within the planet.
