No. Quantum Theory states that we can only know the probable location of an electron. Electron Orbitals are just the three dimensional representations of the most likely location of the electron. Electron movement is not well understood and highly unpredictable.

Not definite circular paths only. Even elliptical paths. Moreover the plane of rotation also gets rotated in three dimension.
