The Big Dipper is an asterism, which is a recognizable group of stars within a constellation. It is located within the constellation Ursa Major. Ursa Major is a constellation that contains the Big Dipper asterism as part of its larger pattern of stars.
A group of stars (and, by implication, any planets they may have) "travelling together" is called a moving group or association. One locally prominent moving group is the Ursa Major moving group, which includes most of the stars in the Big Dipper (as well as several other stars in Ursa Major and other constellations). The two "ends" of the dipper are not part of the group, but all the ones in the middle are moving in the same direction (towards Sagittarius) and at roughly the same speed. This makes the Big Dipper one of the few asterisms where most of the stars actually are "related" to each other in some way.
No, it's the other way round - the Little Dipper is part of a constellation, the constellation of Ursa Minor.
