What are you talking about?

Your picture doesn't show anything.

Astronomers ... Both professional and amateur ... Have used telescopes for thousands of years to chart the planets in our solar system.  You aren't going to find anything with your camera, that they haven't found.

Assuming it is not the moon ... it is a "lens flare" type effect.

btw - you should never take a picture of the sun directly, without a solar filter on your camera. If you have a digital camera, it can permanently burn out the receptor chips.

Are you talking about the planet you currently reside at? . . . Then yes.

Not as close as some, but not as far as some either . . .

What are you talking about, that red blot? That would just be a light effect. If it's something else, then we can't see it.

As for the question, "near" is subjective. There are planets all in orbit around the sun, and contrary to diagrams you may see as a child, it's not like the planets are all lined up in a perfect row. It's more like this:

And here's a less flat diagram: 

So sometimes, when planets are visible, they could be spotted next to the sun or on the other side of the sun. Whether or not that is the phenomena you experienced, we can't tell. Try to look up your location and see what astral happenings went on for your hemisphere that day.

As for a planet not in our solar system, no. They would be way too far away to see with the naked eye, you know. Being so close to a star such as the sun inevitably pulls the astral body into orbit, so anything visible to us simply must be in the same solar system.

That also appears to be a lighting trick. There's no way a planet would appear so close.
