No, there is not a trillion dollar bill. The largest dollar amount that is legal for US dollars is $100.

No. The largest bill ever printed was the $100,000 Gold Certificate (1934) used only for large Federal Reserve bank transactions. Federal Reserve Notes of $5000 and $10,000 were last printed in 1928, and were demonetized in 1969. Along with gold certificates, which lost their legal tender status and were mostly recalled and destroyed, these old high-denomination bills are sought out by collectors.

The country of Zimbabwe suffered hyper-inflation in 2008 and started printing ridiculously high denominations of Zimbabwean dollars, some in the form of "agro-checks" which were ostensibly for use by farmers. The largest banknote printed was 100 trillion dollars in 2009, but the bills were practically valueless before any were circulated. As with all forms of inflation, an increase in the total amount of currency in circulation will decrease its buying power.
