Essentially, yes. Article VI, Section 2, (the Supremacy Clause) of the Constitution reads:

"This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."

The Constitution places Federal Laws and foreign treaties in the same hierarchy of authority as the Constitution, but only to the extend that the laws and treaties, themselves, are constitutionally valid.

Bear in mind the Constitution didn't write itself; the Founding Fathers/Framers actually declared the Constitution, and all laws and treaties made in accordance with it, the supreme law of the land.

Yes, according to the Supremacy Clause of Article VI of the Constitution.

Article VI

All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.
