Just about any object in space will rotate - not just asteroids.
Yes, they generally rotate or tumble through space. Some will very quickly, while other will very slowly.
planets, rocks, asteroids, comets, dust particles, ice particles..
No, all the planets, moons, asteroids and the sun do.
Neither the Sun nor the Moon are planets. Planets rotate around the Sun. Moons rotate around planets. There are other rules to explain the difference between planets and asteroids and comets which also rotate around the sun. Such as planets because of their strong gravitational field, clear objects in their rotation around the Sun, something a small asteroid, nor a small comet can do. However, neither the Sun (which planets rotate around), nor, the Moon (which rotates around the planet Earth), is a planet.
Asteroids are practically all in orbits around the Sun, between the orbits of the planets. There is a large main belt between Mars and Jupiter, and more farther out past Neptune.Spin and wobble of asteroids is caused partly by impacts with other small bodies, and by the gravitational influence of the major planets. Likewise, one of the few things that will stop a spin once it starts would be tidal interaction with planets and moons. This also tends to establish orbital resonance with relatively nearby objects.

Various ways. Gravity of stars act on planets and cause them to rotate around them, as well as asteroids that get caught in gravity fields and fall to the plant's surface.
Asteroids are solid, rocklike masses known as minor planets or planetoids. Scientists believe that some asteroids are the remains of the solar system's formation. They orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter. They rotate in the same direction as the planets. Most asteroids appear to have an irregular shape and are less than 1 kilometer in length.
