executive
The majority of federal agencies are created and operate under the Executive Branch.
No. Only the executive branch (President) has the actual authority to create administrative agencies. The legislative branch makes the laws, the judicial branch interprets the laws and the executive branch implements and enforces the laws.
The executive branch is federal and any state agencies are state only and are not connected to the federal government.
The executive branch includes the president, which approves and enforces the laws. Also in the executive branch are the president's cabinet and agencies that the government has.
50 agencies are attached to this branch

Which "independent" executive agencies are you referring to? Name examples please.

Departments
Independent executive agencies are agencies under the executive branch that lie outside the jurisdiction of the cabinet departments. The independent executive agencies, in the federal system, are those agencies set up by the President of the United States. In the state systems, they are those set up by the Governors of the states. In both the state and federal systems, these agencies often have more power than agencies set up by statute.
The purpose of the executive agencies is to implement, enforce, and ensure the laws passed by the legislative branch of the government.
