Are two lines that are parallel to the same line parallel to each other?
Yes they are. It is delineated in something called the parallel postulate, and the axiom is also called Euclid's fifth postulate. This is boilerplate Euclidean geometry, and a link can be found below if you'd like to review the particulars.
Through a given point not on a given line there is exactly one line parallel to the given line?

Who restated Euclid's 5th postulate?
