There are many trans-Neptunian objects (over 570,000 of them). Some of them are:-
No, Neptune does not orbit around Uranus. Both Neptune and Uranus orbit around the Sun in separate orbits.
Neptune's orbit is farthest from Earth's orbit.
Neptune's orbit and Uranus' orbit are never meeting, but Pluto and Neptune do have their orbits cross. :)
The orbits of Neptune and Pluto appear to cross each other. However, because of their alignment, they can never collide or even approach close to each other.Pluto orbits in a very long elliptical shape. Its orbit sometimes passes within that of Neptune. Then, for about 20 years, it becomes closer to the sun than Neptune.
No, Neptune and Pluto do not have the same orbit. Neptune orbits the Sun in a nearly circular path close to the plane of the Solar System, while Pluto has a more elliptical and inclined orbit that is skewed compared to the other planets. Additionally, Neptune's orbit is further from the Sun compared to Pluto's orbit.

An object that orbits Neptune would be called a MOON of Neptune, if it is large enough.

There are no planets that cross the earth's orbit. Pluto (dwarf, or minor planet) and Neptune are the only planets whose orbits cross. However there are over 100 asteroids (minor planets) that cross the earth's orbit.
Since Pluto has a highly elliptical orbit, it can be between the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, or it can be beyond the orbit of Neptune.

Neptune orbits the sun at around 4.5 million kilometers. Neptune follows an elliptical orbit around the sun so its orbital distance varies.
Yes. The prefix "cis" stands for "within" and "trans" means "outside". So, "cis-Neptunian" means "inside Neptune's orbit".
