Yes, comets orbit the sun, but usually in an eliptical (oval) or eccentric orbit rather than a more-or-less circular one like the planets.
Halley's Comet orbits the Sun, in an elliptical path. It doesn't orbit anything else.
A comets orbit is considered a cycle because a comet circles back in an elliptical orbit.

Halley's comet.
Halley's Comet orbits the sun, not the earth, roughly every 76 years.

It is more circular. :-]
Yes, the time it takes for a comet to complete 1 orbit is called a period.
Halley's Comet takes 73.5 years to orbit the sun but every comet is different just like planets.
Any comet visible from earth is in orbit around the sun. If the orbit is closed (elliptical), the comet will return after some period of time. If the orbit is open (parabolic or hyperbolic), the comet will escape the solar system and never return to the neighborhood.
