Will the plates ever stop moving?
No, plates will always keep moving because of the convection currents in the mantle under the Earth's crust, as long as the Earth's interior stays hot. This is not likely to happen before the Sun swallows up our planet far, far in the future.

Why are earthquakes less likely to happen at the center of earth's plates?
they are less likely to happen at the center of Earth's plates because the plates collide in the front or in the back and unless a plate is the middl3e and another is moving to its center it well most likey not hit its center.
