Typically, they orbit the sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. However, occasionally their orbits are disrupted by the presence of planets, and they end up in more eccentric orbits. Some of the smaller planetary satellites are thought to be asteroids that have been gravitationally captured.
Yes. Their situation is just like that of the planets. In both cases, the main gravitational attraction on an asteroid or planet is the Sun; other planets or planetoids will usually only have a small influence on their orbit, unless they happen to come very close to one another.
No, they orbit our Sun, most of them between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The asteroid belt is a doughnut-shaped concentration of asteroids orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, closer to the orbit of Mars. Most asteroids orbit from between 186 million to 370 million miles (300 million to 600 million km or 2 to 4 AU) from the Sun. The asteroids in the asteroid belt have a slightly elliptical orbit. The time for one revolution around the Sun varies from about three to six Earth years.
Asteroids are technicaly small planets. That in they orbit the sun. An asteroid can become a moon when it is caught by the gravitational pull of a planet and goes into orbit around that planet. Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos are likely candidates for this along with the moons of gas giants Jupiter, Saturn & Uranus as they have no real matter that could have been ejected into space to create a moon like earths moon (Theorised a large mars sized object hit our planet when it was still molten ejecting a blob that became our moon). So to re-cap asteroids orbit the sun, Moons orbit planets.
Comets have sharply turning, elliptical, oval-like orbits, as opposed to the rounder, more circular shape of a planet's orbit
Asteroids, like all other bodies in the Solar System, revolve (orbits) counterclockwise around the Sun as viewed from above the Earth's North Pole
None of the asteroids are considered planets:they are too smallthey are not massive enough to become spheroidalthey often collide with each other (or sometimes the planets)etc.

No. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon. A dwarf planet orbits a star just like a true planet does, but has been unable to clear its orbital path of debris such as asteroids and comets.
The asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter. [See related question] The largest is Ceres, a dwarf planet.

You may be referring to asteroids, which are small rocky or icy bodies which orbit the Sun. There are many thousands of asteroids, most of which orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Most of the asteroids are too small to see, but a few of the larger ones are visible without a telescope.
they go around the sun like the earth
THe Saturn Rings are a "Belt" of asteroids that have all found a similar orbit around Saturn. They are made after a collection of asteroids fall into the same orbit, and when observed from a distance, look like the classic "rings".
Asteroids, Comets
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
No planet orbits around Saturn because planets only orbit around a star like our Sun. And Saturn isn't a star, it's a planet.
The orbit of a planet is commonly an ellipse.
