The US Supreme Court is not located in New York. New York does have a trial court system which is called the Supreme Court, even though it is not truly supreme in the sense that the US Supreme Court is. It is not an appellate court like the US supreme Court is. They named it that because in early days, New York had a fractured system of trial courts, some with limited subject matter jurisdiction, some with limited regional jurisdiction. The New York Supreme Court became the unified statewide trial court, in effect supreme over all the little courts. It is not a good choice of names.

Not really, although there are a few exceptions. The US Supreme Court hears most cases under its appellate (appeals) jurisdiction; however, the Constitution grants the Court original (trial) jurisdiction over disputes between the states and cases involving ambassadors and other foreign dignitaries (the latter are currently tried in US District Court), so there is a limited class of cases that may be "tried" in the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court is not considered a "federal trial court."
