are their orbits and trajectories computed ahead of time to avoid collisions?

Generally orbits are predicted many circumnavigations out, with manoeuvres being necessary to handle crossing paths and orbital decay from atmospheric drag.
its not the most intuitive setup but theres a lot of info available.

click on a dot and it will show up on a list to top left, click on an item in that list and you get a flyout menu to the top left with a bunch of data regarding the satellite.

Yes.
