The Earth's orbit affects climate primarily through variations in the distance from the Sun and the angle at which sunlight strikes the planet, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles include changes in eccentricity (the shape of the orbit), axial tilt, and precession (the wobble of the Earth's axis). These orbital changes influence the distribution of solar energy received by the Earth, leading to shifts in climate patterns over long periods, such as the onset of ice ages or warmer interglacial periods. Consequently, these variations can significantly impact global temperatures, precipitation patterns, and seasonal changes.

Climate
No, the cycle is driven by the Earths Tilt and Orbit. However the cycle will be modified in its effects by climate changes happening on the Earth.
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.

The oceans have a major effect on climate around the globe.

The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
Yes, because it can make a volcano erupt which will shoot up ash into the air.
