No, Earth is a planet orbiting the Sun.
The gravity of the earth is pulling it into orbit.
There are no planets that cross the earth's orbit. Pluto (dwarf, or minor planet) and Neptune are the only planets whose orbits cross. However there are over 100 asteroids (minor planets) that cross the earth's orbit.
Venus is the planet with the closest orbit to that of Earth.
Not a planet of any significant size, which would be easy to see, but it is possible that some pieces of rock are in a similar orbit to the Earth at the five Lagrangian Points of the Earth's orbit.
No planet orbits Earth.
Venus is not on any particular side of the earth. It is inside the orbit of the earth and consequently closer to the sun.
Yes, there are satellites in orbit that record information about our planet.
They will hit Earth if, in their orbit around the Sun, they happen to cross Earth's orbit.
