The Universe is believed to be about 14 billion years old, whilst our Solar system is only about 4.5 billion years old. Our Solar system is sometimes called a '3rd generation system' as it results from several episodes of stellar accretion and destruction, each one generating more sophisticated elements. [But our Sun, being small, can only generate elements up to iron, because the Sun's size and temperature allow no further nucleosynthesis, (as it is called).]
The Earth is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old, formed approximately 9 billion years after the formation of the universe. This age is determined through radiometric dating of rocks and meteorites.
No, the Sun is older than the Earth.
There exists only one known universe and the Earth is in it. Even if the theory of multiple dimensions was proven, the Earth would actually still exist in all of those separate dimensions at once.
James Hutton was one of first people to put forward the idea that the earth was much older than what it said in the Bible. He did not put an actually age on it because he lacked the relevant data.
No one knows the actual age of the earth from its organization to the present day. Though carbon dating has been used to determine roughly the earths age, one must remember that the particles of matter which go to make up the earth are much older than the actual earth itself when it was formed. As an example, a potter will make a bowl out of clay in say 2011, but the material he uses to make the bowl is very much older and may date back thousands of years.
It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang.

Only a little than 4x older actually, the universe is roughly 16 billion years old and Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Of course there are other estimates that the universe is as young as 12 billion years and as old as 20 billion years
The universe is older
Young Earth creationism asserts that the earth and universe were created by God in a literal six days about 6,000-10,000 years ago, as described in the Bible, whereas Old Earth creationism accommodates scientific dating methods and allows for a much older age of the earth and universe, but still believes in a divine creator. Both views seek to reconcile scientific and religious beliefs, but differ in their interpretations of the age of the earth and universe.
No. Pretty much everything in the Universe is moving away from pretty much everything else in the Universe. This is because the Universe is expanding.
Yes, the universe is much older than our solar system. The universe is estimated to be about 13.8 billion years old, while our solar system is only about 4.6 billion years old.
No. The universe is everything that exists.
The universe then the sun then the earth:)

Universe
It is the nature of the universe; the universe keeps getting older and so does everyone and everything in it. It's the nature of things.
No. It is much older. Earth is about 4.6 billion years old.
