One year of a lunar calendar has 12 months, but it's about 11 days shorter than one year of the Gregorian calendar. A lunisolar calendar has months that are based on the cycle of the moon phases, but it also has leap years to keep the average length of a year close to the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. A regular year of a lunisolar calendar has 12 months, and a leap year has 13 months.
No, not our months, but there is a calendar based on lunar months.
The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar based on the Earth's orbit around the Sun, with months of fixed lengths. The lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the Moon and has months of varying lengths, making it around 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar year. This leads to differences in how dates are calculated and the timing of religious or cultural events.
It was Julius Caesar who changed the calendar from 10 months to 12 months
The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar; it follows both the moon and the sun. Each month begins at the time of the new moon like a lunar calendar, but seven out of every nineteen years have thirteen months each instead of twelve to keep the calendar in sync with the seasons.

Our current calendar comes for the Julian calendar, the calendar introduced by Julius Caesar. In the 15th century pope Gregory XIII shortened the day of that calendar by about 11 minutes. Apart from that, our calendar is the same as the one introduced by Julius Caesar. Because of this, the name of our current calendar is Gregorian calendar. The Roman calendar was divided into months and the name of the months we use today are derived from the names the Romans used. For a short while at the beginning of their history, the Romans had calendar with 10 months. Soon after that, it was reformed and lengthened to 12 months. The Julian Calendar was a further reform of the Roman calendar. Two months were renamed after Julius Caesar and Augustus. This is the origin of the names of the months of July and August. The names of the other months came from the older Roman calendar.
The Chinese lunar calendar does not use months, rather divisions. The Chinese lunar calendar has 24 divisions in a year.

No. Some countries use different calendars. So for example you have a Hebrew calendar, a Chinese calendar, an Islamic calendar, a Hindu calendar and many others. For those that use the Gregorian calendar, the months are the same around the world.

The months have never changed order, but Julius Caesar did add in two new months. He added in the months of July and August so that he and his business partner could have months named after them. This made all the months shorter.
The names of the months in the Jewish calendar in the order they appear: Nissan, Iyar, Sivan, Tamuz, Av, Elul, Tishrei, Cheshvan, Kislev, Tevet, Shevat, Adar (I and II). The Georgian calendar is based on the solar year, while the Jewish (and Muslim) calendar is based on the lunar year; therefore, correlation of holy days can only be done on an annual basis.
