You're probably thinking of the 9x19, also known as the 9mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger. It's pretty much standard through all militaries, save for those which adopted Soviet weaponry exclusively during the Cold War. While it remains in current use, it is hardly a new development - the cartridge was first fielded in 1908 in the Luger pistol.

Can you shoot a 9mm bullet from a 380 handgun?

9mm and 380 both use bullets with a diameter of .355. But the answer to the question you're probably asking is, no, you cannot fire a 9mm parabellum cartridge from a .380 handgun. The 9mm cartridge is different than the .380 cartridge. Even though both are 9mm in diameter, the overall cartridge lengths are different.

No. While there are several different 9mm cartridges, none of them interchange with a 7.62 cartridge. You need to clarify your question- there is no such cartridge as a 7.62 9mm. There are 7.62 pistols, but 9mm is a caliber, not a type of firearm.

Did Llama make an especial pistol that would shoot both 380 and 9mm?

No. The .380 cartridge is sometimes called 9mm Corto or 9mm Kurz, but in addition to a different cartridge shape, the basic design of the two pistols is generally different. MOST .380s are blowback, and 9mms are locked breech- due to the higher power of the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. Also, please understand that there are SEVERAL different 9mms- the 9mm Largo, 9mm Browning Long, 9mm Steyr, 9mm Makarov, 9mm Glisenti, 9mm Magnum etc, besides the 9mm Parabellum.
