it takes at least 24 hours for the international space station to go around the world once
MIR is Russian for "peace or world". It was a Russian space station that was the first inhabited space station in space. It was in operation from 1986 til 2001 when it's orbit was allowed to degenerate and burnt up in the Earths atmosphere. It should not be confused with the International Space Station or ISS which is a separate space station. See related links for more information
the international space stations is somewhere in space and hence the name international space stations it is there for the whole world to use engineers and scientists stay out there for long term
The Earth is round, but the maps that those diagrams are on are flat. The International Space Station uses a circular orbit, but when the route is shown on a flat surface it appears in a wave formation. If you draw a line around a fruit that you can easily peel and then peel the fruit and try and lay it out flat, you will see that the line is in a wave. The Earth is also rotating, so as the International Space Station orbits the Earth the places it passes over changes, which also has an affect on how the route appears.

The International Space Station is in constant orbit around the Earth, at a height of about 200 miles. It can be seen at various times from Earth. It passes over different parts of the world every couple of months, appearing regularly for a period of up to two weeks. See the links below for times when it may pass over your location. It looks like a bright moving star, taking a few minutes to pass over.
