Yes, gravity decreases by the square of the distance (inverse square priniple?)
Basically Gravity. The farther the planet is from the Sun, not only has it a longer distance to travel, but also the slower its speed, as it is less affected by the Suns gravity. See link for further information
High tides occur when the gravitational pull of the moon and sun align with the Earth, causing water to bulge towards them. Low tides occur when the moon and sun are at right angles to each other, creating less gravitational pull on the water.
Two main reasons, first is closer distance, means it has less distance to go around. Secondly, the closer to the sun, the heavier its gravitational pull. Think of it rotating faster because the sun pulls it faster than us.

The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
The sun has a gravitational pull and the earth is spinning and the waters react by moving towards the moon and sun. The moon also has a gravitational pull, it is far stronger than that of the sun, because though it has much less mass, it is far closer.
No. The surface gravity of a planet is a product of its size and mass. It has nothing to do with distance from the sun. However, a planet farther away from the sun will experience a weaker pull from the sun's gravity.
Yes, everything in the cosmos has a gravitational pull on everything else.

The further the planet is from the sun, the weaker the gravitational pull. Outer planets even move through space much slower than inner planets due to this.
No. A planet's gravitational pull is determined by the planet's mass. A planet's orbital speed is determined by the the mass of the Sun and the planet's distance from the Sun.
Yes, It has a strong gravitational pull. Without the gravitational pull, none of the planets would orbit it.
Planets orbit the Sun due to the gravitational pull between them. This gravitational force keeps the planets in their elliptical paths around the Sun. It is a balance between the planets' inertia wanting to move forward and the Sun's gravitational force pulling them inward.
