A lot of other things could happen to this asteroid depending on its orbit.

It could strike another planet, it could strike the Moon, it could strike the Sun, it could get too close to the Sun or one of the gas giants and get ejected from the Solar system all together.

Or it could just keep orbiting the Sun and not hit anything until the end of time. After all, as far as we know it has been doing that for 5 billion years or more.

Not necessarily. Too many factors involved, depending on the object's orbit and period.
