you have some good questions. Stars are mostly hydrogen and helium. Heavier elements up to iron are created in heavy stars as they age. Finally heavy stars explode in a super nova and create the elements beyond iron. So yes old stars create all the elements which make rocks, asteroids, comets, and planets. We are made of star stuff.
