There are some comets near Pluto, amongst the bodies in the "Kuiper Belt".
However, I think the answer to this question is the "Oort cloud" of comets, far beyond the orbit of Pluto.
It is called an orbit. A comet has an eccentric or parabolic orbit.

They come from the outer reaches of space.
A comets orbit is considered a cycle because a comet circles back in an elliptical orbit.

Yes, the time it takes for a comet to complete 1 orbit is called a period.
An orbit
Neptune's, at times.

it's a comet.
The shape of a comet's orbit is called an ellipse. This shape is a sort of narrowed circle and comets move in this shape around the sun.

No. Haley's Comet never gets properly out of the solar system, while the Oort Cloud is far outside the orbit of Neptune.
