The ranks above Captain in the Army are: Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel, Brigadier General, Major General, Lieutenant General, General, General of the Army (UK Fieldmarshal).

Occasionally the American General ranks are are referred to simply by the number of stars in their insignia, e.g. 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-star General.

The ranks above Captain in the Navy are Rear Admiral (lower half) (UK = Commodore), Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral, Fleet Admiral (UK=Admiral of the Fleet, though not used in peacetime)

Answer 2

It depends on the branch of service:

In the U.S. Navy, the rank of Commander precedes Captain (full bird).

For U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, the rank of Captain is preceded by First Lieutenant.

Answer 3

The term "captain" is generally used for the leader of a military unit. So in the Army, a captain is the leader of a company, and the next lower rank is "Lieutenant". At sea, the "military unit" is a ship, so the captain is the captain of a ship, which is a much larger military unit. The next lower rank may be commander (generally used for smaller ships) or lieutenant.
