and is there no such pair of planets that revolve around the Sun while staying on the same "side" of the Sun?

The way orbits work, orbital velocity is tied to distance. So unless the planets were in the same orbit, one is going to be going faster than the other (the closer one in a radial velocity sense is moving faster, and the further one in a tangential velocity)
