Exoplanets is the name for the category. Each individually gets a code-name based on either its star or the instrument that found it, and letters (a, b, c) indicating order of discovery. None have official names yet.
They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.
No stars travel around Mars. Stars are distant celestial bodies that appear fixed in the sky due to their immense distance from our solar system. Mars, like Earth, revolves around the sun in its orbit.
Stars are not planets. They are like our sun and may or may not have planets orbiting around them. Stars are hot and the heat makes them look like bright lights in the sky on a clear night. Planets do not create very much, if any, visible light and are much harder to see because they only reflect the light from stars.
The positions of the planets change in relation to the background stars due to their orbits around the Sun. As the planets move along their orbit at different speeds, their position relative to the background stars appears to change from our perspective on Earth. This phenomenon is known as planetary motion and is a result of the planets' orbital dynamics.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.

No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
That doesn't make sense. There are stars, and there are planets. If you mean "planets around stars, other than the Sun", those are usually called "extrasolar planets" or "exoplanets".
The collection of planets and their star (primary) are called a solar system. The planets themselves are called "exoplanets." Once we can tell they fit our definition of planet (having cleared their orbits, etc.) we would probably just refer to them as planets.

If you mean the trajectory of the planets around their parent stars, it is called the orbit, and it is not a circle but an ellipse
It is called the solar system. There are also systems around other stars.

No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
