Moons do not orbit the Milky Way because they Milky Way is a galaxy. But if you are thinking about the amount of moons in the Milky Way total, it is around 1-2million. Probably even more.
I believe it maintains an orbital pattern, though remains in the middle of our system.
No, the sun is gravitationally bound to the Milky Way galaxy. Its orbit around the galactic center keeps it within the Milky Way.
We orbit the Milky Way galaxy in a counter-clockwise direction when viewed from above the galactic plane. This orbital motion takes hundreds of millions of years to complete one full orbit around the center of the Milky Way.

No, it will be staying in orbit around the Earth. Depending on what they're studying, they may point it at the center of the Milky Way though.

1) Rotation around its axis 2) Orbit around the Sun 3) Orbit around the center of the Milky Way

It takes our Solar System about 240 million years to orbit the Milky Way. Other stars - either closer or farther from the center of the Milky Way - will take less time, or more time.

No, the Sun is a part of the Milky Way. Our Solar System orbits around the center of the Milky Way. Our sun goes along with the general spin of the entire Milky Way galaxy, and is positioned rather near the edge. It doesn't orbit it in the sense I think you mean.
the milky way is a galaxy. the universe is all of space.
It is The Milky Way because it is named after the Milky Way Galaxy. Hope this helps!
Astronomers have calculated that it takes the Sun 226 million years to completely orbit around the center of the Milky Way.
