Apart from the Persian Empire the neighbours of the Roman Empire were independent ethnic groups, rather than countries. Countries in the modern sense of the word did not exist back then.
The Romans and the Persians were repeatedly at war with each other for about two centuries. This stopped when both parties recognised that neither of them could gain the upper hand and reached a settlement.
Many of the Germanic peoples who lived to the north of the frontiers of the empire and some Iranian-speaking people to its east tried to invade the empire or carry out raids. This was particularly bad during the Crisis of the Third Century where there were so many attacks that the Roman army became overstretched and the strain this caused led to e period of military anarchy in the empire.
Some neighbours were allies of the Romans. The oldest allies where the Franks who lived in Holland by the mouth of the river Rhine. Their army fought for the Romans or alongside the Roman army and there were Franks who joined the Roman army. However, there were also times when they rebelled against the Romans and there was a period in which the Franks and the nearby Alemanni destroyed the economy of northern Gaul because these two peoples repeatedly raided its countryside.

The Holy Roman Empire was dissolved by Napoleon, and became just a large number of small countries. In the years after the Napoleonic Wars ended, these countries came together in a confederacy called the Zollverein, or German Customs Union. This might be the best organization to call the replacement of the Holy Roman Empire.
No, the Romans used Roman law and governed according to Roman custom. That's why it's called an empire.
