No, all objects in the Universe generate a pulling force on all other objects. The Moon, Sun, planets, asteroids, meteors and stars all have a gravitational field. All humans, animals, trees, planes and buildings possess a gravitaional force, relative in size to its mass.

Yes. The gravitational force of the sun is far greater than any other body that exerts a similar force on the earth, so the net force is in the direction of the sun. This force is what keeps the earth in orbit around the sun. There is a moderately lengthy explanation for this involving calculus and force diagrams, which I cannot provide here, but that's the gist of it.
