There are currently 40 active duty officers of 4 star rank (generals & admirals) in U.S. Forces. There appear to be well over 200 living retired 4 star generals.

The US Army has 99 Major (2 star) Generals on active duty.

The top ranking officer in the U.S. Navy is the Chief of Naval Operations, a 4-star Admiral.
No. The need for a 5 star general for the United States began during World War 2 and was stopped after the promotion of Gen. Omar Bradley. Since the Marine Corps is a part of the Department of the Navy it is very unlikely that a Marine Corps general would ever get promoted to the rank of a '5 Star' general.
The only 5 star generals are General of the Army MacArthur, and General of the Army Eisenhower.
Militarily, the Commanding Officer of the Navy is the Chief of Naval Operations, a 4 star Admiral. He reports to the Secretary of the Navy, who is a DoD civilian; he in turn reports to the Secretary of Defense.
