Both ideas have truth in them. Our Sun and its planets Earth included make up one Solar System, there are many of these in our galaxy. All of these solar systems have a sun and planets spinning around them. While this is going on the galaxy is hurtling through space along with other galaxies, each of them having solar systems with a sun and planets and their moons. Got a head-ache yet?.

Why does everything inside of a galaxy remain in place instead of flying off into space?

Well, to tell the truth, everything inside a galaxy is actually flying off in space. Everything that is anything is flying off in space. Space is the thing that everything is in. What does tend to keep things together is gravity. So as things inside a galaxy are flying around in space, gravity keeps them from flying off in their own direction.
