Yes, that is how current flows through a wire. Electric current is the flow of electrons through a conductor. In a conducting metal, even without a voltage applied the electrons freely move from atom to atom. But without an applied voltage, the movement of the electrons is in random directions, such that the average of all movements is zero. When a voltage (such as a battery) is applied, the electrons are repelled from the negative terminal of the battery and they all start moving in the same direction (attracted to the positive terminal of the battery).

So electron flow is actually from negative to positive, but since an electron's charge is negative, we think of Conventional Current Flow as current flowing from Positive to Negative.

Can electrons move or cannot move from one object to another when rubbed together?

Probably because they can. Before we had transistors we had vacuum tubes. In them electrons move between objects. They also move electrons between objects in particle accelerators. If your community has a cancer center in its hospital, you might ask them if you could have a tour of the radiation therapy department. The "linacs" used to treat cancer accelerate electrons.


What subatomic particles move from the surface of objects when friction occurs?

Electrons. That is how static charge is built. Some of the electrons of one object move to the other, creating a negative charge where the electrons have built up, and a positive charge where the electrons have vacated.
