The actual volcano? No. It only moves when the tectonic plates move (and everything else moves too)

In regard to activity. It appears that volcanic activity changes location after a long period of time. This is why we have so many 'extinct' volcanos today.

No. Although the movement of tectonic plates is the ultimate cause of most volcanic activity on Earth, individual eruptions do not cause the plates to move, nor are plate movements the trigger for individual eruptions.
