No. Cumin (the spice) is the dried seeds of the plant Cuminum cymenum.

Cilantro refers to the leaves of the plant Coriandrum sativum. The spice coriander is the dried fruits ("seeds") of the same plant, and tastes different (among other things, it doesn't have the "dish soap" taste that some people perceive in the leaves; the ability to detect this appears to be genetic).

The two plants are in the same "family", but that's not saying much ... so are dill, anise, and carrots.

Coriander and oregano are not the same. Coriander and cilantro are the same, however. Generally people use the term coriander when referring to the seed and cilantro when referring to the grown plant.

Not exactly. The aromatic flavor is less with dried, but not so much that you always need to use more.
