Yes. The ecliptic plane is the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun. From where we sit, it appears as the path (line) that the sun travels through the stars. The 'signs' of astrology originated as the constellations along that line. All of this is associated with the earth's revolution around the sun, not its daily rotation.
The angle between the equinoctial and the ecliptic is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. It is the angle between the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the plane of the celestial equator. Currently, the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees.
No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
The Ecliptic.
The ecliptic. Because it is the plane that contains the earth as it orbits the sun, by definition it is also the plane that contains the sun as we observe it in its yearly journey through the stars.

Mercury has the planetary orbit that has the greatest inclination to both the ecliptic and the invariable plane.
The ecliptic is the apparent path of the sun's movement in space, as viewed from the earth.
Every Planet has it's own ecliptic path. -DaFishSticks
It is called the "ecliptic plane"
Almost. It's when the Full Moon is on the ecliptic.
The angle between the equinoctial and the ecliptic is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. It is the angle between the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the plane of the celestial equator. Currently, the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees.
Ecliptic means the imaginary line that marks the path the Sun moves on annually. The ecliptic path projects the Earth's orbit and along helps mark when eclipses will occur.
The ecliptic is the path the sun seems to follow through our sky. Some stars are grouped near the ecliptic, such as the constellations that make up the zodiac.
The orbit of Eris is 44° from the ecliptic.
