Current thinking is that the Asteroid Belt never constituted a single terrestrial body in the past; for whatever reason, there was not enough mass in the Belt for the matter there to accrete into a single body, as happened in the case of Earth or Mars, e.g.

No, not all terrestrial planets lie inside the asteroid belt. The terrestrial planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all located within the inner solar system, with Mercury being the closest planet to the Sun. The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and consists of numerous small rocky bodies.
Yes, or at least in our solar system. Pluto lies outside of the asteroid belt, but it is not considered a planet anymore, so is does not count as terrestrial. Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all located inside the asteroid belt.
Jupiter is outside the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Jupiter's orbit is closer to the asteroid belt than the terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars, but it is still outside the main region of the asteroid belt.
Of the four planets outside of the asteroid belt, Neptune is the farthest.
Mars is the last of the inner planets. It is the fourth planet from the Sun and right before the Asteroid belt.
Mars is located outside the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region between Mars and Jupiter where many small rocky bodies orbit the sun.
The two main classes of planets in the solar system are the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and the gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Terrestrial planets are rocky, dense, and relatively small, while gas giant planets are primarily composed of gases and have a much larger size compared to terrestrial planets.
