Like any orbit, it may change over time.
Earth's orbit crossing the orbit of a defunct comet.
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.

Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
The orbit of mars is outside that of the earths orbit

The earth's mass has no effect on its orbit. An astronaut on a "space walk" hovering over the space shuttle's cargo bay is in the same earth-orbit as the shuttle itself is, although his mass is much less than the shuttle's mass. At the same time, the shuttle and the astronaut are both in the same solar orbit as the earth is, although each of them has quite a bit less mass than the earth has.
The direction of the Earth's spin and the direction of the Moon's orbit is the same - counterclockwise
In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same rate as Earth rotates and thus stays over the same place on Earth all the time.
They are in the same orbit
Yes. The Moon travels in orbit around the Earth, at the same time that the Earth travels in orbit around the Sun, at the same time that the Sun travels in orbit around the Milky Way, etc.
It's about 88 Earth Days.
We always see the same features on the surface - since the rotation is the same period as the orbit.
A Geostationary orbit - it means that the satellite will always stay above the same point on Earth. Hope that helps
No.
A geostationary orbit would allow a satellite to see all parts of the globe as it orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth rotates. This means the satellite remains fixed above the same point on the equator, providing continuous coverage of that area.
Yes, it rotates once with each orbit of the earth. That is why we see the same side of the moon all the time.
