Various parties can be associated with the left wing, though the most commonly referred to is the Democratic party.
Also considered left-wing are the Green Party and the Socialist Party.
The political party associated with the left wing is typically the Democratic Party in the United States. They generally support policies that are more progressive and focus on social justice and equality.
From the center of the political spectrum to the extreme right-wing you have the Republican Party, Conservativism, Libertarianism, Fascism, and the Nazi Party.
Liberals and those on the left wing are typically associated with political parties that prioritize social equality, individual rights, and progressive policies. In many countries, these may include parties such as the Democratic Party in the United States, the Labour Party in the UK, or the Social Democratic Party in Germany.

No, the Labour Party is the dominant left-wing party of the United Kingdom. The dominant right-wing party is the Conservative Party - but their political stance is probably closer to the Democratic Party than the Republican Party. European countries tend to be more left-wing than the US.
Sort of, right wing refers to people with Conservative views and left wing refers to people with Liberal views.
You don't give a time frame. The Social Democrats (SPD) and of course the Communist Party (KPD) were on the left.
The political spectrum is a line that orders political ideologies from right to left: far-right is fascism (eg nazi germany); right-wing would be capitalism (eg USA); the republican/conservative party is right-wing and the democratic/liberal party is left wing; left wing government would be socialism (eg Norway) and Leninism-Marxism (eg Cuba); far left would be communism (eg Soviet Union, Red China)
The classic diagram of political ideologies places liberals to the left and conservatives to the right, so "left-wing" refers to liberals.

The US political party system, for most of its history, has had a two party system. Most is a key word here. Bringing the question to today's US party system, the Democratic and Republican parties dominate the US. With that said, it should be noted that within each party are various "wings". Meaning in the Democratic Party for example purposes, there is a left wing of the party and a moderate wing and a conservative wing. This is true for the Republican party as well.

Such groups can range from the Communist Party to the Democratic Party. There are groups in economics as well as politics. There are left-wing environmental groups and left-wing religious groups. To name all the groups might be impossible. Wikipedia has several articles dealing with liberal or left-wing organizations.
