When a comet nears the sun, and begins to out-gas, solar wind pushes the particles away. as the comet nears the sun, more & more particles are emitted, and the tail grows.
The Comet's Tail forms when sunlight causes the Comet's ice to change to a gas. The gas or ion , tail of a comet streams from the comet's head, carrying with it dust particles. The solar wind electrically charged particles, expand away from the sun pushes the gas away from the comet's head. Regardless of where its going the tail points away from the sun.
A Comet Halo is the Halo around the Comet, simple question really.
Halley's Comet orbits around the sun.

Comets are accompanied by dust to varying degrees. If a comet had the same density as the earth, this stuff would orbit around the core once every 90 minutes for the closest particles.

Its the nebulous shock around the nucleus of the comet. Basically its the head of the comet.

The tail is actually moving away from the comet. The solar wind pushes the dust and ice particles away from the comet as it melts. The ice particles reflects the light from the sun allowing us to see the tail. In fact, the comet's tail is never behind it. It is always to one side of its direction of travel.
