No, it depends on your coordinate system. It’s CONVENIENT to say the Earth orbits the sun, and the moon orbits the Earth, but a coordinate system could be composed in which it works the other way.

Absurd. The orbits are the same no matter the coordinate system; merely writing them as inverse does not change the actual paths.
