No two comets are the same, and you haven't mentioned
which one you're interested in.

The Leonids meteor shower are associated with the comet Tempel-Tuttle.
Invisible to our eyes, ionic "winds" are constantly blowing away from the sun. As a comet passes in a long, elliptical orbit, its tail is pushed away from the sun by these solar winds. Since most of the visible part of the comet is its tail, this is a very visible effect. Of course, there is no air resistance in the vacuum of outer space, a comet's orbit will not make it more elongated, smooth, etc.
That depends on where in its orbit the comet is. Near the Sun, the comet was moving VERY fast indeed, but in 1200 years or so, a few hundred AU from the Sun, it will hardly be moving at all. And then it will begin to make its long fall back into the inner solar system.
comets can do this (depending on there make up) however this is rare as a comet is actually a satelite, it is stuck in a orbit. an asteroid burning up in the atmosphere is more likely, thiese rocks are not in orbit.

Halley's Comet is in a closed gravitational orbit of the sun ... just like the Earth, all the other planets, and all the asteroids are. An object in a gravitational orbit keeps going unless there's something that acts on it to make it stop. That's how gravity works, and all other motions in general.
Jupiter takes 4332 Earth days, just under 12 Earth years (11.85 years) to make a single orbit of the Sun.11.9 Earth years~11.86 years
