The Roman senate was an unelected body and it was an advisory body, not a legislative one like modern senates. It members came from the patrician aristocracy and the equites, which were an entrepreneurial elite which was like a lower tier of the aristocracy.
The Principate.
Caesar Augustus was the first emperor of Rome. Before him, Rome was ruled by the Senate. However, the Senate had less and less power in the waning days of the Republic. Before Caesar Augustus became emperor in 27 BC, he was part of a triumvirate with M. Lepidus and M. Antonius. The Senate was still nominally leading Rome. Before that Julius Caesar held a lot of power before his assassination in 44 BC. But again, supposedly the Senate was still leading Rome.
Yes, Rome had emperors and the Senate at the same time, particularly during the early imperial period known as the Principate. While emperors held significant power and often overshadowed the Senate, the Senate continued to exist and played a role in governance, advising the emperor and passing legislation. However, over time, the power of the Senate diminished as emperors consolidated their authority. This dynamic led to a complex relationship where the Senate served more as a ceremonial body under imperial rule.

No one brought Cleopatra to Rome. She came on her own for political purposes. It is thought that Cleo made two trips to Rome, the first one trying to get the senate to recognize her as queen and ally of Rome, and the second time to keep close to the negotiations that were being held in the senate regarding a reorganization of some provinces, in particular, the future of Cyprus.
