Yes. PLuto is the largest known object in the Kuiper belt.
Kuiper belt
Some astronomers suggest that rather than being a planet, Pluto is really just a large member of the Kuiper Belt, a region beyond Neptune filled with small icy bodies. This reclassification is based on Pluto's size, composition, and orbit, which are more similar to other Kuiper Belt objects than traditional planets.
No. Eris is not a Kuiper Belt object, but is instead part of the scattered disk, beyond the Kuiper Belt. Eris is slightly smaller than Pluto, though by an insignificant amount but has a greater mass, meaning it is denser.
The disk-shaped belt of icy particles in Pluto's orbital neighborhood is called the Kuiper Belt.
Pluto's orbit is near the beginning of the Kuiper belt.
Kuiper belt
Well, you see, my friend, Pluto isn't the largest object in the Kuiper Belt. That title actually goes to another Kuiper Belt Object called Eris. But Pluto is special in its own way, as it has a good amount of fans who appreciate its unique charm and beauty. Just like each one of us, each cosmic object has its own special place and significance in the universe.

Yes, it is a moon of Pluto, which is a Kuiper belt object.

Pluto's orbit is near the beginning of the Kuiper belt.
The kuiper belt are a collection of rocks beyond the orbit of Pluto. All the dwarf planets (except Ceres) are near the Kuiper Belt.
The dwarf planet Pluto was discovered in the year 1930. It was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh and is the largest object found in the Kuiper belt.
Pluto's orbit is more elliptical than most Kuiper belt objects, it has a higher inclination relative to the plane of the solar system, and its composition is different from the typical Kuiper belt objects.
Pluto has a moon that is about half its size
