Do they have a leap year in every country?
No. Much of the world uses the Julian calendar, which includes an extra day in Leap Year, and the Hebrew calendar includes a leap MONTH every few years, but the Islamic calendar does not. However, even in the parts of the world that use traditional non-Julian calendars, the standard western calendar is understood and used for the purposes of most international commerce and communications needs.
How much time was remove from the Romans calendar?
The calendar you are referring to is the Julian calendar, which was introduced by Julius Caesar. The Gregorian calendar, introduced by Gregory XIII in 1582, shortened the day by 10 minutes and 48 seconds. It also dropped 10 days from the years 325 to 1582.
Does the luni solar calendar directly relate with the moon and the sun?
A purely solar calendar, such as the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used, has no connection to the cycles of the Moon, and is tied strictly to the solar year. Months are pretty much arbitrary. In a lunar calendar, the month always begins at the new moon, and dates always occur on the same phase of the Moon. A purely lunar calendar (such as the Islamic calendar) does not synchronize with the solar year at all. A luni-solar calendar such as the Hebrew calendar is primarily tied to the Moon, but also adds "leap months" periodically to maintain a rough match with the solar year.
Why did the Christian calendar change from the Jilian calendar to the Georgian calendar?
According to both the Answers article on Jilian calendar and the article regarding the Gregorian calendar; the Jilian calendar did not do a very good job of calculating leap years. It takes the Earth a little more than a year to compete one orbit around the sun. The Jilian calendar's method of allowing for the extra time needed was so out of sync that it was off by several days when it was finally replaced. The Gregorian's method of adding one day every four years (February 29) was much more accurate and much easier to use. That is why it is still in use hundreds of years after it was invented and is used by most nations on the planet. It does what it is supposed to do and does it very well.

Are leap years observed worldwide?
Most countries use the Gregorian calendar, as the U.S. does. However some cultures use calendars that apply the same rules as the Gregorian calendar does. One example would be the Chinese Leap year, which adds a leap month about every three years. The placement of this leap month varies from year to year, and the name of the month is the same as the month preceding it.The Iranian calendar adds a leap day every four years as well, however every 6 or 7 years, the leap day is added on the fifth year instead of the fourth. The Iranian calendar, which only needs correction every 141,000 years, is more accurate than the Gregorian calendar, which needs correction about every 3226 years.Other examples include the Jewish (which also adds a leap month, Adar I), Hindu, Islamic, Baha'i (which adds a leap day to the last month every four years), and Ethiopian calendars. As far as I can tell, pretty much every country has a form of leap year.
What is the name and structure of the calendar that preceded the Gregorian calendar?
The Gregorian Calendar is an almost identical improvement on the Julian Calendar. The names of the months and the number of days per month are the same.

The Julian Calendar averages 365.25 days per year, and the Gregorian Calendar averages 365.2425 days per year. It doesn't seem like much, but after using the Julian calendar for 1 1/2 millennia the accumulated error totaled about 10 days.
