Pluto is considered to be two different things.
1. Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is in hydrostatic equilibrium (round) and it orbits the sun, but it has not cleared its neighborhood of debris.
What's its neighborhood? The Kuiper belt, a collection of icy objects similar to comets that somewhat resembles the asteroid belt. This leads to its second classification.
2. Pluto is a Kuiper Belt Object (KBO). Specifically, it's classified as a plutino - an object within a certain zone of the Kuiper Belt.
Pluto has been classified as a dwarf planet in the Solar System since 2006. This reclassification was made by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).
Planet Pluto is in solar system and Solar system is in the Universe t, hence Pluto is also in our universe.However Pluto was not part of original Solar sytem but was a comet which was captured in a planetary orbit.
Pluto is a member of the solar system because any object in the solar system is a member of the solar system. However, if you were asking if Pluto is a planet in the solar system then the answer is no. Pluto used to be a planet but is now considered a dwarf planet.
Yes and no. It was decided on August 24, 2006 that Pluto be classified a dwarf planet. Because dwarf planets are a subclassification of planet, it would be accurate to call Pluto a planet, in a general setting (bearing in mind, though, that there are 10+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, some larger than Pluto).
No. Pluto orbits in our solar system.

Pluto was recently stripped of the honour of being a planet

Pluto was known as a planetuntil the year 2006 however scientists discoverednew objects and then classified it as a dwarf planet.
No. Its not even the biggest dwarf planet.
In 2011, Pluto was classified as a "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union. This decision downgraded Pluto from its previous status as the ninth planet in our solar system.
No, Pluto is not a country. It is a dwarf planet located in the outer regions of the solar system. It was previously classified as the ninth planet but was reclassified in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union.
The old name of our star, which we sometimes call the "Sun" is "Sol". Sol has a number of planets, planetesimals, and rocks orbiting it. This is therefore called the "Sol"-ar system, or simply, the Solar System. Pluto is now classified as a "dwarf planet". Pluto may be a part of the Kuyper Belt at the far edge of our Solar System.
