Like the Earth revolves around the Sun.. dose the Galaxy revolve around any thing.

There is the local group of galaxies and the two largest are our galaxy the Milky Way, and Andromeda galaxy. They are all gravitationally involved with each other. Whether they rotate around their common center is unclear. Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are headed for a crash in about 2 billion years so those two are not revolving around each other in any permanent way.
Our galaxy basically rotates around its own center. There is a super-massive black hole at the center, but that's sort of a side issue because even if it wasn't there, the galaxy would still rotate around its own center.

Yes. The Milky Way is a part of collection of galaxies known as the Local Group. The Local Group has a gravitational center where all the galaxies in it revolve around. The revolution, however, is not very elliptical or circular either. Right now, our galaxy is expected to collide with another in a few billion years.
I'm pretty sure the Milky Way also rotates about it's center. I'm not 100% sure though, so don't take it as a fact.

Current thinking is that there's a supermassive black hole at the galaxy's center, and everything in the galaxy is revolving around that.
Do you mean like an external body that we and a bunch of other galaxies are orbiting around? Not that we know of.

I think you mean rotate, not revolve, right ? The galaxy rotates around a Black Hole at its center. It is not known if it revolves around anyhting in deep space.
