Nuclear weapons can technically operate in space, but there are international agreements that ban the placement of nuclear weapons in outer space. Additionally, using nuclear weapons in space could have catastrophic consequences due to the lack of atmosphere to contain the fallout.
No, there are not enough nuclear weapons in existence to knock Earth off of its orbit. The force required to move a massive object like Earth would be astronomical and far beyond the capabilities of any known weapons. Earth's orbit is stable and not easily disrupted by human actions.

The treaty that stopped nuclear testing in the atmosphere was the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed in 1963 by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Kingdom. This treaty prohibited nuclear testing in the atmosphere, underwater, and in space, helping to reduce the environmental and health risks associated with nuclear weapons testing.
